Project Description

Washington County’s Kaolin Park is a cornerstone of the local community, hosting countless baseball games each season. To elevate the playing experience and reduce the massive maintenance burden of natural dirt, Advanced Sports Group was brought in to modernize the facility.

In 2026, we executed a comprehensive conversion of five baseball infields, installing nearly 70,000 square feet of Shaw TruHop synthetic turf. TruHop is engineered specifically for baseball, replicating the speed and bounce of a professional natural surface while eliminating the need for dragging, watering, and chalking. The transformation has been a game-changer for Sandersville. Tournaments will run smoother,rain delays are nonexistent, and the county has significantly reduced its operational costs, all while providing a beautiful, pro-level surface for its players.

Key scopes of work included:
    • Full field excavation and grading of 5 fields.
    • Advanced drainage and base system installation for optimal water management
    • Custom Shaw Sports Turf
      synthetic playing surface installation
    • Permanent Base path and batter’s box detailing

Client Benefits:

  • True, predictable ball bounces that improve fielding
  • Virtual elimination of
    pre-game infield prep
  • A pristine, tournament-ready appearance every day of the week
