Infield Renovations

The right clay-sand ratio is critical to infield performance. Too much clay leads to hard, compacted surfaces; too much sand creates loose, unstable footing. Hummer evaluates existing infield soils and installs high-quality engineered mixes tailored to baseball or softball standards. We also condition and blend materials to keep fields consistent over time.

These are the most heavily used and scrutinized areas of any diamond. We rebuild mounds to the exact slope and height required, ensuring pitchers have proper footing and mechanics. Home plate areas are reconstructed with durable clay blocks and precision compaction, creating safe, stable footing for both hitters and catchers.

Hummer constructs high-quality warning tracks that deliver the safety, texture, and visibility players rely on as they approach the outfield wall. Our process includes precise excavation, lasr-controlled grading, proper base preparation, and installation of premium stone or engineered warning-track material matched to your field’s performance and drainage needs. We ensure smooth transitions from turf to track, consistent footing under all weather conditions, and a clean, professional finish that meets both player expectations and facility standards.

Proper drainage is essential for minimizing rainouts and extending play. We install slit drains, regrade low areas, and improve material blends to ensure water moves quickly through the surface, keeping games on schedule even after heavy rain.

Renovating an infield is just the beginning. Hummer provides programs for rolling, scarifying, and edging ensuring surfaces maintain their precision throughout the season. Our goal is to reduce mid-season surprises and help facilities keep fields looking and playing their best year after year.
