LASER AND GPS GRADING

Laser and GPS Grading is the most accurate way of grading an athletic field. We use this to make sure your field is competition ready.

At Fielder's Choice, Inc. we believe that improved surfaces are is in direct correlation with improved performance and we know that the keystone to a better field is in the precision of the grade.  Once a field grade is correct, water then will move off of the playing surface which in turn will lead to less rain-outs. Additionally, a smooth surface is safer for players and ensures a truer game by not interfering with ball roll.

The laser grading system we use is a computer controlled hydraulic system that grades the surface within 1/4 inch of specifications. The way this works is a laser beam is emitted from the transmitter in all directions. The receiver is mounted on the grading equipment and senses the signal from the transmitter which then automatically adjusts the cutting edge.

This process insures your field will be uniform when it comes time to play ball.

Some of the benefits of laser grading include:

  1. No wet areas because of the better drainage
  2. Lower maintenance cost because the turf is healthier
  3. Allows for less slope so that balls roll more consistently
