HOW MUCH SKINNED AREA INFIELD SOIL DO I NEED?
To determine depth of material needed to restore proper grade to your field:
1. Determine Square footage of skinned area on a baseball field or softball field
Typical Baseball:
Typical Softball:
College or High School field – 90’ bases, 95’ infield arc – 11,300 square feet Youth League: Grass infield – 60’ bases, 50’ infield arc – 3,530 square feet Skinned infield 6,460 square feet
55’ arc to outfield grass – 11,440 square feet
60’ arc to outfield grass – 11,190 square feet
65’ arc to outfield grass – 11,975 square feet
2. Multiply the square footage of the skinned area by the decimal equivalent of the volume of material needed
(example – 2”: 2/12=.1667; 4”: 4/12=.3334; 6”: 6/12=.50) to determine cubic feet of material needed
3. Divide cubic feet by 27 to determine Cubic Yards (CY)
4. Multiply by 1.2 for 20% compaction factor (CF) – 1.3 for 30% CF
Example and Formula for Estimating Infield Soil Needs
Example: Field - High School Varsity – 11,300 square feet of skinned area, determined to be 2” low Formula: 2 / 12 = .1667 x 11,300 = 1883.4 (cubic feet) / 27 = 69.75 CY x 1.3 (CF) = 90.68 CY
