McEachern High School - Ball Fields

Powder Springs, GA

Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with McEachern High School in Powder Springs, GA to complete full conversions of the school’s baseball and softball fields. These improvements were part of a larger, multi-phase athletic facilities enhancement program that also includes the school’s stadium field.

The baseball field conversion was completed in February 2024, followed by the softball field in August 2024. Both projects replaced aging natural surfaces with modern synthetic turf systems designed to improve safety, durability, and year-round field availability.

Project Goals

  • Replace natural grass surfaces with high-performance synthetic turf
  • Improve drainage and reduce weather-related downtime
  • Enhance surface consistency, safety, and overall playability
  • Reduce maintenance demands for school athletics staff
  • Deliver long-term durability for high-frequency use across multiple sports seasons

Our Scope of Work

Site Design and Planning

Capital Sports Construction developed engineered plans for both fields, addressing grading, water control, turf system compatibility, and field layout requirements specific to baseball and softball. Each field required customized geometry for infield arcs, base cutouts, warning tracks, pitching areas, and runoff zones.

Site Construction

Construction activities for the baseball and softball conversions included:

  • Removal of existing natural grass and infield material
  • Regrading to establish correct field elevations, slopes, and water flow
  • Installation of engineered aggregate base layers for stability
  • Integration of drainage systems to ensure rapid water removal and reliable all-weather performance
  • Preparation of sub-base structures meeting turf manufacturer specifications

These steps ensured that both fields would provide consistent footing and long-term durability.

Synthetic Turf Installation

Each field received a tailored synthetic turf system designed for baseball and softball play. Work included:

  • Placement of durable monofilament turf engineered for sport-specific movements
  • Installation of customized infill blends to balance cushioning and surface firmness
  • Integration of detailed field markings, base cutouts, pitching circles, batter’s boxes, and warning track zones
  • Final grooming and performance testing to ensure consistent play characteristics

The synthetic systems provide predictable ball response, improved traction, and reduced maintenance compared to natural surfaces.

Project Highlights

  • Completed two full synthetic turf field conversions on staggered timelines to support school athletics scheduling
  • Improved drainage performance for both fields, significantly reducing downtime
  • Delivered consistent, safe, and high-quality playing surfaces for baseball and softball programs
  • Reduced ongoing maintenance needs, including mowing, regrading, and infield material management
  • Strengthened McEachern High School’s broader campus-wide athletic facility upgrades

Results

The baseball and softball field conversions provide McEachern High School with durable, all-weather facilities that support year-round training, competitive play, and school programming. The turf systems offer consistent surface conditions, reduced maintenance demands, and improved overall safety for student-athletes.

Together with the upcoming stadium field improvements, these projects represent a major enhancement to the school’s athletic infrastructure, supporting long-term performance and community engagement.
