An improved surface material is particularly suited for non-turf baseball
field applications such as the pitcher's mound and base paths. The
material generally comprises clay, wax and sand and has a putty-like
consistency. Cleats can penetrate the material but are not likely to pull
it out in clumps upon removal of the cleats. Method for forming the
surface includes spraying emulsified wax on a surface and mixing it with
the surface material.
