FAQs
What are the benefits of recovering infill during turf replacement? Recovering existing infill creates an opportunity to recycle or reuse material that would otherwise be removed with the old field. Where reuse is suitable, it can reduce the need for new infill and lower the environmental impact and cost of replacement. Recovery must be planned as part of turf removal, with the material’s condition and the requirements of the replacement system determining what can be used again.
Why does ball response matter when choosing baseball turf? Baseball turf needs to support predictable ball movement, including the bounce, roll, spin, and hop of a ground ball. The infield, outfield, and other playing areas place different demands on the surface, so material selection should consider how those areas function together. Keystone evaluates turf construction and system configuration around these requirements. Planning for ball response alongside player movement helps create a surface suited to baseball’s specific patterns of play.
