CERTIFIED INSTALLATION
We have taken infield renovation to a new level by introducing a complete infield evaluation, installation, and maintenance program all in one easy step. Your infield will undergo a detailed evaluation through our Ten Point Checklist outlined below. All deficiencies will be corrected to the best available method provided by the existing topographical constraints and your field will be guaranteed not to hold standing water following a significant rain event. Best of all, once the certification process is complete, you will be eligible for our unique Field Assurance™ warranty program that will continue to make your investment pay off for years to come. Hit a home run with Certified Installation and unlock the full potential of your facility.
A Certified Installation consists of a 2” cap of 100% DuraEdge Infield Mix in combination with the right topdressings and/or conditioners as well as the right tools, equipment, and maintenance techniques.
Once complete, you will be provided a network of industry experts who can help you manage any problems that will inevitably arise throughout the course of a long season.

FieldSaver
Not ready to go with a full field renovation or a certified installation? We can start the process now by amending your current infield. After taking a soil sample of your current infield mix, we will be able to determine through testing and analyzing where your soil is compared to where it should be. We can then take that information and determine the right amendment to bring your infield mix to the proper levels and correct soil imbalances. Unlike a 2” cap, which removes and replaces, FieldSaver gets worked in and combines with your existing infield skin material. Your soil will continue to be tested as it often takes a few applications over time to get to optimal levels.
