Athletic Field Construction & Renovation

Specialty Field Construction & Renovation

Hummer's expertise extends to all types of natural-turf sporting and athletic fields.

At Home On Every Field.

From baseball diamonds to multi-sport complexes, track and field, horse racing, practice facilities, and more, Hummer applies specialized skills and precision to create fields tailored to the sport and its athletes.

Specialty Fields

When your project calls for more than a standard natural-grass field, Hummer offers specialty solutions engineered for high-impact, multi-use, and highly specified environments. Whether you’re building a sand-based racing turf, a tournament-ready soccer pitch with heavy traffic, a professional training field, or a bespoke athletic surface for unique conditions, our team has the expertise and equipment to deliver.

From specialized root-zone mixes to specialized drainage systems, from rapid field replacement to full-scale turf conversions, from field renovations to full-out design and build: we handle the entire process. Our specialties include high-performance sand-grid tracks, tournament fields for equestrian and motorsport use, synthetic-to-natural grass conversions, and other complex field systems where precision, speed, and durability must align with tight event schedules. With Hummer at the helm, you gain a partner who understands that every sport, every venue, and every athlete brings unique demands — and that your surface must be crafted accordingly.

Baseball & Softball Fields

Baseball and softball require a balance of natural turf and engineered clay surfaces. Hummer constructs and renovates infields with the correct clay-sand composition, sharp turf-to-clay transitions, and properly sloped pitcher’s mounds and home plates. Outfield grading is handled with precision to ensure smooth play and consistent ball response. We also install warning tracks, bullpens, and dugout areas, delivering complete facilities that meet competitive standards.

Soccer & Lacrosse Pitches

Soccer and lacrosse demand large, uniform surfaces with consistent footing and predictable ball roll. Hummer builds and maintains pitches with advanced drainage, laser-graded bases, and turf varieties selected for durability and playability. Goal mouths, center circles, and sidelines receive extra reinforcement to handle concentrated wear, ensuring these high-use fields perform throughout the season.

Multi-Sport Complexes

Modern schools and municipalities often require fields that host multiple sports and events. Hummer specializes in designing and constructing flexible complexes that accommodate football, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, and community programming. Our layouts maximize field space while maintaining safety and performance for each sport, supported by robust irrigation and drainage systems to extend playable days.

Track & Field Surfaces

From running tracks surrounding football fields to throwing and jumping event areas, Hummer integrates turf construction seamlessly with track and field facility requirements. We ensure turf transitions meet safety standards, prevent drainage conflicts, and deliver durable practice and competition areas that meet athletic association guidelines.

Horse Racing & Equestrian Surfaces

Equestrian and racing surfaces demand unique knowledge of soil profiles, compaction, and safety requirements. Hummer brings agronomic expertise and construction precision to horse tracks and practice paddocks, building surfaces that balance performance with animal safety and long-term stability.
