“After dealing with Glenn Kafka at Kafka Granite and getting to know him, there is no other place to go for sport field needs. With customer satisfaction like you receive from Kafka, you will keep going back.”
“The drainage is unbelievable; we have hosted many of our away games because the opponentās field is underwater while ours is ready to play on. We have the look and feel of a big league field in our little town of Stratford, Wisconsin!”
āSince the first year of use in the spring of 2010, the diamond has received compliment after compliment from visiting teams, spectators, and officials. In the summer of 2010 we hosted the State Babe Ruth Tournament. On Saturday afternoon of that tournament a Wisconsin afternoon rain shower popped up dumping more than an inch of rain in less than a half hour. Less than an hour after the rain had stopped we were playing ball again. Fans could not believe how well the field absorbed the water and quickly we were ready to play again. To this day I still will run into somebody who was there that day and they mention how unbelievable it was that he diamond was playable so quickly.ā

What is the difference between ball yard mixes?
Kafka has standard, stabilized and wax polymer options for infields and warning tracks. All are made from our high-quality decomposed granite in a couple beautiful reddish brown colors. Hereās a brief overview of the differences between each to make your ball yard materials selection easy:
Standard Ball Yard Mix:
Ideal as an infieldās fresh topdressing or as your warning track mix. Made from DG and crushed to a size that allows for maximum permeability and stability. The warning track mix is coarser than our Burma Red Infield Topdressing to give an extra ācrunchā under foot.
Stabilized Ball Yard Mix:
As premium derivatives of our standard ball yard mixes, this decomposed granite-based mix is pre-blended with a stabilizing organic binder. It retains moisture, requires less maintenance and virtually eliminates mud. Ideal for a new infield or warning track. Available in Burma Red, Red Cedar and Ruby Red Granite.
Wax Polymer Mix:
Wax Polymer mix is ideal for the infield and warning track. Wax Polymer mix is made from Kafkaās standard Burma Red DG and a water-shedding wax polymer. This state-of-the-art mix renders fields waterless, dustless and mud-free. No need for watering and is crushed to the perfect size for stability and ball-hops.
