It packs firm enough to hold a clean spike print, drains fast enough to play after a rain delay, and stays put when the wind kicks up. Same material works for backyard wiffle-ball diamonds, bocce courts, and dog-sport agility surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngineered blonde clay-loam-and-sand blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~100 sq ft at 3\" depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~2,000–2,200 lbs\/yd³\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiamond mix, infield mix, baseball dirt, blonde infield, ball field soil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSold by\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe cubic yard, bulk dump truck delivery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it's good for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaseball and softball infields, base paths, and warning tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitcher's mounds and batter's boxes (where compaction matters most)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBocce courts, horseshoe pits, and shuffleboard surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackyard ball diamonds and rec-league field maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard 90' Little League infield (the dirt portion) is roughly 9,500 sq ft.
