Built For Natural Landscape Performance

Installation & Care Notes
Installing the Shaw Sports Turf B1K softball system involves a precise, multi-step process. Professional crews start by excavating and grading the field with controlled sloping for water drainage, followed by adding a 6-inch rock base, installing a weed barrier, and rolling out the specialized shock pad and B1K turf fibers. The B1K system is designed to replicate natural grass ballparks, as seen in Major League Baseball venues like Globe Life Field and loanDepot park. The existing area is leveled to exact elevations. Controlled sloping is built into the sub-base to allow for optimal water drainage.
