It’s grading season, and we’re taking full advantage of this beautiful fall weather. Hard to beat spending these October days out on the ballfields, getting dirt moving and putting our equipment to work.

If your baseball or softball fields are in need of a little TLC, now is a great time to start planning. Reach out to Grounded Turf Solutions and get on our schedule for spring 2027.

We recently wrapped up a major infield renovation at Mitchell Field in Aurora, Nebraska. Our work included widening, raising, and leveling the basepaths, rebuilding the home plate circle, and raising home plate to the proper elevation. We also stripped the existing infield sod, brought in 40 tons of topsoil, and tilled and regraded the infield grass areas before finishing things off with fresh sod.

Mother Nature definitely didn’t make this one easy, but despite several weather setbacks, we were able to deliver the finished product. We’re welcoming the cooler fall temperatures to help the new sod establish a strong root system before winter, setting the field up for high school baseball season this spring. ⚾

We’re thrilled with the progress happening at Mitchell Field!

A huge thank you to all of our generous sponsors—this project wouldn’t be possible without your support. Your investment is helping grow baseball in Aurora, and we’re truly grateful.

These upgrades aren’t just about looks—they’re about giving our athletes a more consistent, safer field to play on.

We also want to recognize the great work from Grounded Turf Solutions. In addition to installing new sod, they leveled the infield, widened the base paths, raised the bases, and made major improvements around home plate.

Mitchell Field is coming together, and we can’t wait to see it in action!

We’ve been busy at Omaha Baseball and Omaha Softball this summer. ⚾️🥎

Our repair list included extending nine Velcro turf inserts between the two fields, straightening crooked home plates in the bullpens, replacing the worn pitcher’s lane on the softball field, and replacing the mound turf at the baseball field while also repairing the aggregate underneath.

At the softball bullpen, we added a new pitching rubber and home plate to make better use of the available space and give the team another functional pitching area.

We finished up by cleaning and decompacting both fields as part of our new annual maintenance program with UNO.

That annual maintenance also includes a full field report each year, giving UNO a record of field conditions and performance from year to year while identifying repairs, wear areas, and other items they may want to keep an eye on.

A lot of different projects packed into these two fields, and we appreciate UNO Athletics trusting Grounded Turf Solutions with the work.

It’s all about the details.

A little late-summer cleanup at Lincoln Christian — cleaning up edges, sharpening transitions, and giving the mound some attention before the fall season.

Not every project has to be a major renovation. Sometimes a little focused maintenance goes a long way toward keeping a field looking and playing the way it should.

Appreciate Lincoln Christian trusting Grounded Turf Solutions with their field.

Sometimes the most important turf work is what you don’t see when we’re finished.

At Standing Bear High School, we pulled back sections of the football turf to correct low areas in the aggregate base, before putting everything back together and finishing the field with a full cleaning and grooming.

Turf repairs don’t always mean replacing turf. Sometimes it’s about finding the problem underneath, fixing it the right way, and extending the life of the field.

Another one ready for the season.

We’ve been a little quiet on here lately — turns out AI can’t replace us yet, and boy have we been busy the past few weeks knocking out projects before school starts up.

Limited mower access and excessive shade made maintenance on this natural grass area a constant challenge. Now they have a clean, usable green space that will look great year-round with significantly less headaches.

A big thank you to Jake, Aaron, and the Council Bluffs Community School District maintenance team for continuing to trust our work and expertise. We appreciate the partnership!

A few recent projects keeping ballfields in top shape. ⚾🌱

From restoring worn pitcher’s mounds and reshaping bullpen mounds to crisping up field edges, every detail matters. Clean, defined edges don’t just improve appearance—they help prevent turf encroachment into skinned areas, making routine maintenance easier and keeping fields looking game-ready throughout the season.

As we start looking ahead to fall, it’s a great time to tackle these projects before wear compounds and winter sets in. A little maintenance now goes a long way toward protecting your field and setting up for success next spring.

If your baseball or softball facility could use mound repairs, bullpen work, turf work, edging, grading, or general field improvements, we’d be happy to help.

One of the saddest pitching mounds we’ve ever come across is now back in the game. We removed more than 18 inches of overgrown sod and organic buildup from the mound radius, rebuilt the table, reshaped the mound, and gave this Legion field a pitching surface it can be proud of again. The worn area in front of the mound is still there, and that’s because this is only phase one—we’ll be back this fall to renovate the entire grass infield, regrade the surface, and continue bringing this field back to its former glory.

We love working in small Midwestern towns. The people are down to earth, take pride in their facilities, and truly appreciate improvements made one project at a time. Sure, flashy drone footage and polished marketing videos are great, but we’re a small company focused on putting our time and energy into the work itself and earning our reputation the old-fashioned way.

The best part? In communities like this, the impact is immediate. Within an hour of starting Thursday morning, the local newspaper had a photographer on site taking photos and videos. We’re grateful for the trust these communities place in us and proud to help keep their ballfields moving in the right direction. ⚾️💪
