The Vail Athletic Field is getting plenty of attention for maintenance these days. The rainy days mixed with lacrosse in July was the recipe for disaster for turf. Today we began preparing for sod through the middle of the field. Three areas were cut and the old turf and thatch was removed.
The grades were measured to pitch the field for proper surface drainage.
Kramer is back, you may recognize this man and machine. He leveled out the new tees on 3,4 and 8. First these areas are being tilled up to mix in the remaining organic matter and sand. The mixture will provide a better medium for root growth. Here you see the box blade that is used to bring the area to the proper grade and prepare for sod.
