Hi all. We are making way for our 12u pitcher to have enough room in the backyard to practice her pitching. Right now it is basically a dirt lot. I was thinking of just getting St. Augustine installed on the whole thing and then nailing in a mound and dropping down home plate. i know there are so many options as for as putting in turf or concrete or fake grass.. I was wondering what you guys have done that worked for you..pictures if posaible! P.S. we have two large dogs to consider. Thanks!!
