Diamond Dirt-Infield Mix

Diamond Dirt is mainly sand with a small amount of silt and clay. It is processed through an 8mm harp screen for product uniformity. Our Diamond Dirt provides a safe infield by compacting to a firm, smooth surface that plays true and minimizes hops.  On a properly designed and built infield, Diamond Dirt requires less maintenance due to fewer soil amendments and less man-hours to prepare your field for play. We highly suggest using a PROFESSIONAL in the turf and field industry! (call us for recommendations). This will save your organization in the long run.  If not, keep these tips in mind: #1. You must have a properly designed infield (laser grading, crowning, leveling, edging, etc) #2. Compact every 2″ for new construction #3. If, after placing diamond dirt, you have squishy spots – ideal compaction has not been achieved.  The more active the surface (i.e. dragging, playing, etc) the quicker the field will reach optimal playability.  Once the field firms up, you can resume normal maintenance. #4.  Do NOT drag in the same direction – same as mowing your lawn… you don’t follow the same pattern every week, same goes for your field.  This will cause uneven spots and may ruin your grade, crown, etc.
