Stabilized Ballyard Mixes

Take all of the great drainage characteristics of our Infield Topdressing, pre-blend the material with an organic binder, and you get the best permeable infield mix, or baseball dirt, possible. This material provides a firm, resilient playing surface with minimal mud or dust. It has excellent water bearing capacity and load bearing strength, retains flexibility, cushion and reduces wind and water erosion. This results in near immediate play after rainfall, fewer cancellations, and less man-hours spent on maintenance and preparation. Recommended depth for new field construction 3ā over an appropriate base material.
When you installĀ Kafka’s Stabilized Warning Track Mix, the result is a warning track that will continue to perform with even less maintenance, and the addition ofĀ the organic binder allows the material to retain moisture even longer. Stabilized Warning Track Mix is available in Burma Red, Red Cedar, and Ruby Red.
Why is decomposed granite the best for ball yard needs?
Kafka Granite knows each ball yard has different needs depending on its level of use or climate. Whether your infield is in the little leagues or is huge in the big leagues, Kafkaās ball yard mixes can exceed your needs. By providing exceptional drainage qualities and the safe footing, find out why our standard and stabilized ball yard mixes are a clear choice for those needing a quality infield and warning track.
Why would I use stabilized ball yard mix?
Our stabilized ball yard mixes are crafted from decomposed granite instead of sand, clay or silt. Our Stabilized Infield Mix and Stabilized Warning Track Mix are premium derivatives of our standard ball yard mixes.
Much like our decomposed granite-based standard ball yard mixes, these are also decomposed granite mixes, but are pre-blended with an organic binder. The addition of an organic stabilizing binder creates the best permeable infield surface possible.
Organic stabilizer does all of the following:
Whatās the difference between stabilized infield mix and warning track mix?
Stabilized infield and warning track mixes are both comprised of Kafkaās decomposed granite and an organic binder. Our stabilized warning track mix, however, differs in that itās produced to a slightly coarser size than our stabilized infield mix.
A slightly larger warning track mix provides more ācrunchā under foot to provide a better auditory warning to players running toward the wall or fence. Kafkaās Stabilized Warning Track Mix is available in Burma Red, Red Cedar and Ruby Red aggregate colors. Our stabilized infield mix is available in Burma Red to create the look and feel of a truly professional field.
Where would I use stabilized ball yard mixes?
Burma Red Stabilized Infield Mix is best used for new field constructionāinstalled at a depth of 3āā4ā. The permeability and stabilized quality of this mix makes it a premium playing surface for infields or warning tracks over an appropriate base.
How much stabilized ball yard mix do I need to order for my ball yard?
When constructing a new field, Kafka Granite recommends a compacted depth of three inches over an appropriate base material. To calculate how much you may need, read our guide to estimating how much stabilized infield mix you may need. Youāll find recommendations for both grass and skimmed infields at compacted depths of three and four inches.
