66 degrees in mid February means some bullpen repairs for @ISURedbirds baseball! @DuraEdge Blackstick packed in perfectly! @ProfOutdoorSol
Another fun project! Hoping the rains hold off so we can get it done next week!
Brand new @DuraEdge infield going in for the @MepoBulldogs softball team. You’re going to love your new field!More to come! @AndyOmmen1

The seed box idea was the idea of the day today! 10,000 lbs applied and didn’t have to lift or chase a single bag on a windy day!
Roll and conditioner at Monmouth-Roseville Softball today to finish off the @DuraEdge amendment we did late last fall. Another field ready to go! Side note: an ag seed box is a great way to dispense bulk sacks into a topdresser!! 6000 lbs put out in 17 minutes! #worksmart
The season is here! Glad to be outside again!
Divide and conquer kind of day today. Finishing touches on @VGBlueDevils new @DuraEdge softball field and @TriopiaCUSD27 baseball and softball fields. Three more fields ready for the season! Loving the warm spring weather!

‘Tis the season! Infield pro getting some much needed engine work done! @ProfOutdoorSol shop will be busy for the next few months! #readyforspring
A legit alternative to a lifetime commitment to synthetic!
Pretty fortunate when you find someone with the same drive to make things better. Golf courses, ballfields, football fields, you name it. Happy to have Daniel leading the charge in Western Illinois and Eastern Iowa!

Andy will be spending much of his time on sales and project development throughout Illinois. He brings tons of ball field experience to the company. It’s nice to have him “officially” on board (even though he’s been with us for years!) Hit up @AndyOmmen1 for any project needs!
"24 Days of Christmas" - Day 1
Retiring early from a 33 yr career @ State Farm, we couldn't be more excited to have @AndyOmmen1, CSFM join us full time. He spent 20 yrs as the Groundskeeper at PONY baseball in Bloomington, IL, winning National and State Field of the Year awards.

Final bunker of the week almost complete at Southside CC. Perfect weather for shaping! Thank you @AlexPalos3 and crew for another great week of improvements! Can’t wait to do more! @ProfOutdoorSol
The new GB124 grader blade on the @AltorferCat 299 skid is a sweet combo! Easy setup and will hog some dirt! Took advantage of some dry weather to knock out some laser grading at @CAMFBALL today. The new #naturalturf field will be awesome! @ProfOutdoorSol
Hey @CIGCSA , does anyone remember the company out of Missouri that came through with their root pruner? Can’t think of their name… – at Thomasboro, IL
Somebody somewhere placed a bet on Michigan throwing an INT on the first play from scrimmage and won! (And then lost again 😂) – at Tolono, IL

Another school district considering synthetic turf on a baseball and softball field. Starting to feel like there won’t be any natural fields left at the high school and college level.
Need to come up with a way to promote natural fields more effectively.
Who wants to help??
Old clay tile replacement at Monticello GC. Started with a few sink holes from displaced and broken tile. Ended up unearthing several generations of repairs and decided to replace the whole stretch. Respect to the guys who originally installed the clay! Lots of tight joints! – at Monticello, IL
Extending, widening, and lasering the 7th tee at Tri-City CC in Villa Grove, IL. Proud that @ProfOutdoorSol is part of this club’s slow and steady #Movement2Improvement #EveryStepCounts
And yet the number of new synthetic fields going in is astounding. Looking for a chance to build a natural field correctly from the beginning, and then help maintain it the right way. Still more cost effective than synthetic and so much better for athletes! #keepingitreal – at Tolono, IL
Had to do it.
84° air temp
82° natural grass
114° - 118° on synthetic infield
114° on asphalt parking lot (no pic)
Natural grass > plastic
