About Infield Mix
Infield Mix is a blend of sand and clay commonly used for baseball and softball infield surfaces. The combination of sand and clay helps create a playing surface that balances drainage and firmness better than either material alone.
Infield Mix is frequently used for baseball and softball infields, bullpens, batting cages, and other recreational field applications. Some customers also use it for walking paths and similar projects where a compactable natural surface is desired.
Infield Mix is typically produced using approximately 70% sand and 30% clay, although exact proportions may vary slightly depending on source materials and production methods.
Because Infield Mix is produced from natural materials, color, texture, moisture content, particle size, and composition may vary between loads and source locations.
