Pictures from an athletic field contractor

We were back on some of the fields we removed the grass from last week. I wish I had gotten a pic when I was done. All we have left to do on this field is install new bases.

What kind of spading tool is that? It doesn't look like a rototiller but I can't see it.

Do you use something like this on your own place? Looks like it might be useful for planting a garden.

More work on an infield today. We added 2 loads of infield mix, then laser graded it.

What do you do with the material that you remove?

What do you do with the material that you remove?

We just dump it somewhere off the field. It usually ends up being about 2 or 3 loads or about 6 - 10 yards. And a lot of it is grass, so it will 'deflate' over time as the grass decays.

More work on another softball infield today. We’ve had record high temps lately which is good for allowing us to get some work done.
