consistent blend of sand, silt, and clay screened through 3/8”
screens to make for a safe and smooth playing surface. The
particle size distribution of the mix is approximately 45% silt
& clay, and 55% sand.
Premium Infield Mix
New to the market, our Premium Infield Mix has
approximately 40% silt & Clay, and 60% sand. Due to the

Dura
Edge™ Classic Infield Mix
Finally, that red clay field
you have been looking for but without the required high
maintenance. That’s because our Classic Mix is approximately
28% silt & clay, and 72% sand.
Looks and plays like a
pro field, but it can be maintained at the municipal level.
Dura Edge™ Pro Infield Mix
Just like the name says, you
can play on the same red infield mix as the pros. It has
approximately 33% silt & clay, and 67% sand. The high clay
content guarantees a firm playing surface, but with that comes
the responsibility of increased maintenance. If you have the
man power and equipment this mix is for you! |

stone dust this field is low maintenance and makes for some
great color contrast when used on your softball field.

see improved drainage with approximately 33% silt & clay,
and 67% sand. Be sure to ask about our Stabilized Boston Blue
Infield Mix.
Calcined Clay Conditioner
When introduced properly to
the infield mix Calcined Clay Conditioner improves drainage
and retains moisture to lower the frequency of watering.
Calcined Clay Drying Agent
Another member of the CC
family. This finely screened product is designed to quickly
soak up
puddles and get the game back on. CC Drying Agent
will not harm your field after use, unlike kitty litter which
can plug up the infield mix. |

Red Infield Conditioner
Fields looking a little dull? Red
vitrified clay may be the answer. Fired at a lower heat than
the Calcined Clay, vitrified is an ideal top dressing. This
bright red colored product keeps dust down and holds moisture
on the top layer to keep the top surface smooth.
Mound/HomePlate Clay
Just what you need to help out in the
maintenance process. This high clay content mix is used in
the high stress
areas of mounds and home plate. Easy to install you could be
cutting down on the daily filling and tamping of these areas.
Mound/HomePlate
Bricks
Another
alternative to bagged clay. Excavate your high stress areas
and install these bricks.
They are designed to work in the same
manner as the clay. Pack up strong and eliminate deep holes
from forming.
