A New Softball Field at Fountain Central High School

Just before snow cover arrived in central Indiana, the J&D Turf team was in Veedersburg, IN to renovate a softball field for Fountain Central High School.

Here are a few photos of the field after the fall practice schedule was completed:

Prior to the renovation, the field had a poor grade and the infield mix consisted of crushed limestone.  Due to poor grade, drainage issues behind the backstop and the need for new fences, press box and dugouts, all the items were demolished prior to the field work.

Here are a few photos of the field pre-renovation in early November:

The renovation plans consisted of the following:

• A new conical grade for the infield at .5%
• Installation of Dura Edge Classic infield
• Condition the infield with Diamond Pro Professional Calcined Clay
• Installation of sod in foul territory

Here are a few photos of the field post-renovation:

Look for additional posts in the spring to see the field completed with a new backstop and dugouts.
