It is hard to say definitively how much exactly a baseball field would cost to construct. But the range is from around $15,000 to anywhere in the low millions. Although this seems like a strangely large and vague span, there are many reasons.

Baseball fields used to be packed with clay, which turned rock hard in the sun and melted into a slippery mess after a downpour. Today major league clubs often use a sports dirt mix called Beam Clay, made by Partac Peat Corp.

They had never been laser graded before and were in very bad shape, high and low points throughout. It cost about $2,000 per field (5 fields, $10,000 total).

Touch-up land leveling is usually based on a “per acre” or “per hour” rate. Cost per yard of cut varies from approximately $1.50 to $2.50 per cubic yard depending largely on diesel fuel costs. Initial costs per acre for land leveling can range from $150 to $500.

The preferred grading plan for baseball and softball fields uses a cone laser. This laser is placed at the center of the field, from where it projects an invisible cone extending in all directions. (Figure 3). The slope can be set to any desired value.
