For the past few years, when we aren't at a field, my daughter would practice in the front yard with me on the bucket, of course, 40-45 or so feet away. I did put one of those spiked pitching rubbers in the ground that she pitches from, and obviously the grass in that area has long since been wiped out. So essentially she pitches from a pitching lane that is just dirt and not clay with a brick base and we're unable to even get through a practice nowadays without stopping so that I can even out the dirt.
So anyway, I'd like to build a pitching lane for her the right way, with clay bricks and proper field covering. I have seen a couple of videos online where they are setting bricks for batters boxes so I assume it's the same, just wondering if anyone here has done it, if it was an easy project, and how much did it run you in $'s. I obviously don't need, or want, a circle. Just a lane similar in size to the indoor pitching mats.
