Turface MVP can be incorporated into your infield mix. It fights infield compaction that leads to running, sliding and bad ball hop injuries. MVP holds moisture, nutrients and increases drainage as a result of balanced air and water pore space.
There is no substitute for conditioning your sports fields to maximum performance and safety. Turface Pro League is a patented soil conditioner manufactured with smaller, more consistent particles that flow easily into aerification holes. Pro League’s smaller uniform particle size is tested and approved by Major League groundskeepers.
Field & Fairway’s medium-sized particles help turf in native soils survive under intense traffic. When you incorporate it into the root zone, it adds porosity to prevent compaction in high traffic areas. Field & Fairway holds moisture and nutrients, providing a permanent balance of air and water space to increase drainage and prevent muddy conditions that destroy turf.
After a rain, Turface Quick Dry makes muddy, slippery conditions a thing of the past. Quick Dry will not cake, become slippery or turn your field rock-hard, and works over and over again.
Turface Mound Clay & MoundMaster Blocks
Turface Mound Clay and MoundMaster Blocks are virgin packing clay without any additives that diminish a clay’s quality. Their high degree of plasticity provides the best footing and wear resistance, allowing them to stand up to the intense activity received by pitching mounds and batter’s and catcher's boxes.

Many athletic fields are made using existing native soils. It doesn’t take long for these soils to become compacted because of use. This creates drainage issues and also makes it almost impossible to maintain a healthy turf. Replacing the field is usually not an option and extremely costly. Aeration only offers a very short term solution.
With the introduction of DryJect, you can now help to reduce these problems without spending a fortune. The system uses a blast of water to make a 3-4” hole. Then the DryJect machine injects Turface Field & Fairway into the hole. The Field & Fairway will wick the excess water away, making the field playable much quicker.

The most effective way to introduce Turface into the soil profile is using the Drill & Fill and system. This is a unique piece of equipment that drills holes up to 12” deep on 7-1/2” centers. Once the holes are drilled, Turface Pro League or MVP is injected. Although more costly than the DryJect system, it will apply more than twice the amount of Turface, helping to change the soil profile up to 12” deep.

Verti-Quake is brand new technology designed to relieve drainage issues that arise from soil compaction. The Verti-Quake machine below is making 3/16” slits, 12” deep, around 10” apart. This allows excess water to drain through the soil profile.
The best way to build an athletic field is to specify the use of Turface during the construction phase. Incorporating the proper amount of Turface into the top 6” will create a field that will perform for years without the severe compaction and drainage issues so often seen. The addition of Turface will also make it much easier to maintain a healthy turf stand.
Below are some photos showing the application of Turface MVP during field construction. Once all of the Turface has been applied, it will be tilled into the soil 4-6” deep.
