Grounds staff for the Waukee School District.

[Waukee CSD @WaukeeCSD]

Due to inclement weather, Waukee CSD has canceled school for Thursday, Dec. 22. All childcare and activities are cancelled and all district buildings will be closed.

[HS Baseball Fields Of America! @HSBaseballField]

Cascade Iowa!

Old Drive-in movie screen as the batters eye!

Love it!

[Brentsville Turf Toro Grounds Academy @TurfgrassTiger]

Truly one of the most incredible moments in our program’s history. Our students were tasked with working alongside the @Panthers grounds crew, prepping the field for the ACC Championship. Thank you, @TifDan14, for bringing the next generation to the professional on stage.

If the players keep talking about it, they might start to listen.. don’t drop the subject.

The grass home @Eagles field potentially saves a serious knee injury for RT #LaneJohnson.

[Waukee Grounds @WaukeeGrounds]

Took advantage of the warmer weather to try using the brush attachment on our @ventrac to clean up some lips. Seemed to work pretty well, unless you’re the cameraman. @WaukeeBaseball @waukeeathletics

Better late than never slinging some gypsum. Bag says “virtually” dust free.

Nfl says they care about player safety yet they can’t put us on a natural surface #saferfields

Mark your Calendars! Registration opens in December!

Doesn’t seem right blowing out irrigation in 70 degree weather. Another season coming to a close. @iowa_stma @NWHSWolves @waukee_warriors

[Waukee Grounds @WaukeeGrounds]

One off season project checked off the list. Thank you to @victorymounds for the quick and precise work fortifying and making the mound and plate one of the nicest in the state.

[Shaun Eberhart @eberhart_shaun]

First home playoff football game in over a decade. Mother Nature dialed up a beautiful day. Added a little Iowa touch to the midfield logo. @DKProducts1 @pioneerathletic

[Waukee Grounds @WaukeeGrounds]

Started @NWWolvesBB and @waukeenwsb. This afternoon. Finishing up tomorrow followed by (hopefully) pulling cores by the end of next week.

[Waukee Grounds @WaukeeGrounds]

Began final topdressing on @WaukeeBaseball and @WaukeeSoftball fields today. This coupled with a deeptine aeration greatly improves oxygen, water and nutrient movement within the soil. Next up @waukeenwsb and @NWWolvesBB fields.

[Iowa SFMA @iowa_stma]

ISFMA Fall workshop underway in Sioux Center. Thanks to Lee Van Meeteren, Sioux Center Parks Director, for hosting!

[Waukee Grounds @WaukeeGrounds]

Today we finally got to setup and program our @autmow autonomous painter. This will help free up time to accomplish other tasks to keep keep improving our natural grass athletic fields. Times are changing here at @WaukeeCSD

[Waukee Grounds @WaukeeGrounds]

This is a great article doing the work to compare the cost/maintenance of natural grass vs plastic.

Finally got the #wiedenmann put together and taken for a spin. This will greatly improve our 24+ acres of sports turf around the district and help with new construction compaction.
