Athletic Field Construction & Installation
Experienced athletic field construction from Athletic Field Crew: new ball fields and turf fields for schools, parks and leagues around Dayton and southwest Ohio, built to the correct dimensions from the ground up.
Building a Field That Plays Well for Years
Athletic field construction is where the decisions that affect a field for decades get made: how it is oriented, how it drains, what the infield is built from and how the turf is established. Athletic Field Crew brings backgrounds in turf management, field construction and excavation to every new field, and one of our owners came to the company directly from an excavating business. We plan and measure first, build drainage into the ground rather than adding it later, and choose soil and turf materials for the way the field will actually be used.

Built With the Right Materials
New ball fields are built with Washington Ball Mix infield mix, Marco Clay warning track material, Profile Products 5 Star packing clay and MoundMaster clay blocks for mounds and batter’s boxes, and Turface conditioner worked into the skin. The same products are available to your crew on the athletic field materials page, so the field can be maintained with what it was built from.
