Renovation That Fixes the Cause, Not Just the Symptom

Athletic field renovation is what a field needs when routine maintenance can no longer keep up: a lip along the infield edge that causes bad hops, a mound that has lost its shape, low spots that hold water for days, or turf so worn that the surface is no longer safe. Athletic Field Crew starts every renovation with an inspection of the whole field, because a puddle in the infield is often a drainage problem and a bare patch is often a compaction problem. Then we recommend repairs based on usage, drainage, soil, turf and budget, and do the work with proper materials and techniques so the same damage does not come back next season.

Football, Soccer and Lacrosse Field Renovation

Other natural-grass fields follow a simpler but equally careful process. We first inspect the field to find damaged or worn areas, especially goal mouths, sidelines and the center of the field where play concentrates. We repair low or uneven spots and add soil or other material where needed to level the surface. After that, we reseed or resod the areas with damaged grass and apply fertilizer to help the new grass establish. If compaction is part of the problem, aeration and topdressing are added to the plan.

The Right Materials for the Job

Renovations use the same professional products we sell: Washington Ball Mix for the infield, Marco Clay for the warning track, packing clay and clay blocks for mounds and batter’s boxes, and Turface conditioners to manage moisture. You can also buy them for your own crew on the athletic field materials page.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fix drainage and low spots?

Yes. Drainage is one of the first things we inspect. Low spots are filled with the right material and the surface is laser-graded so it is level and sloped to shed water off the infield instead of pooling on it.

Do you renovate football, soccer and lacrosse fields?

Yes. We inspect the field for damaged or worn areas, repair low or uneven spots, add soil or other material where needed to level the surface, then reseed or resod damaged grass and fertilize to help it recover.

What causes the lip where the infield dirt meets the grass?

Infield material migrates into the grass edge every time the field is dragged or rained on, and over a season it builds into a raised lip that causes bad hops and traps water. Sod-cutting the edges and re-establishing a clean transition is part of every renovation we do.
