When It Comes To Baseball-Softball We Out-Play The Competition Every Inning!!

Comparisons to Most Typical Infield Products: Typically most infield products being sold in the U.S. are 2 to 3 times heavier than our 100% Pure Pumice products. They contain various combinations of sands (60% to 70%), while the other (30% to 40%), mainly consisting of an array of fine silts and various types of clay, cinders, decomposed granite, various coloring dyes and binding agents with an end goal of producing the perfect infield products. They have to blend all these materials so they will bind together in order to meet the 6 basic industry requirements; for Moisture Control, Drainage, Compaction, Traction, Play-Ability and Maintenance. Our 100% Pure Pumice products do this without the ill effects of using sand, silt, & clay.

Common Complaints & Avoidable Expenses

Poor Drainage & Fields Clogging Up

One of the major causes of poor drainage is the saturation of silt and clay. Most silts and especially clays become muddy and slick then eventually dry out and clog up your field drainage system from buildup over time. This is what happens when the fine sands and silts wash down to the sub-base of the field. Clay based materials are commonly used as pond liners and water retention for agricultural and industrial applications. When clay particulates become moist they swell up and become an impervious water barrier that disallows water to naturally drain. The combination of silt and clay combined over time together creates a very costly and adverse effect on your infield drain system’s performance. In most cases, over time, requires replacing the entire drainage system underneath your playing surface. This becomes an unnecessary expense to have to renovate the entire field, from bottom to top — that can be avoided or delayed with our 100% Pure Pumice products.

Additional cost of bagged infield materials

Fine sands and clay based infield dressings and conditioners dry out, clump or often separate and blow or wash away. If they clump up the only way to deal with that is to remove the clumps and replace them with the existing infield baseball dirt material.  Replacing them again and again each year is a very costly annualized expense in both time and materials that can be easily avoided with our 100% Pure Pumice infield single component material.

Moisture Control & Infield Materials Blowing Away

The most common cause of infield baseball dirt material blowing away is poor moisture control and material separation in windy areas or during windy seasons.
