Maximizing Summer Maintenance for Tennessee Athletic Fields
The summer season presents an opportune time for top dressing athletic fields across Tennessee. Top dressing and edging are essential maintenance tasks for ensuring optimal playing conditions and professional aesthetics on baseball and softball fields.
Benefits of Top Dressing:
- Reduces the thatch layer, thereby decreasing the presence of poa annual (wild annual grass).
- Smooths the field’s surface for enhanced playability.
- Improves water filtration and post-rain recovery.
- Facilitates growth in thin or bare areas.
Top Dressing Guidelines:
- For optimal results, football, baseball, and soccer fields require a minimum of 2-3 loads (50-75 tons) of sand, while softball fields need at least 1 load (25 tons).

Bonus Tip – Edging for a Professional Finish:
Finally, edging is a finishing touch that adds polish and definition to your baseball field. By maintaining crisp, clean edges along the infield, baselines, and outfield, you create a professional-looking playing surface that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the field. Edging also helps prevent grass encroachment onto the playing surface, ensuring clear boundaries and optimal playing conditions for athletes.
