the Valley High School team of
Gilcrest.
On his family's return to
the Greeley area in 1999, his
eldest son, Andy, couldn't find
a wooden bat fall league in
Greeley.
"None of the local baseball
fields would allow us to use
their field, because they had
them put away for the winter,"
Greg said. "So we just built a
baseball field."
The field opened in 2001 with
dimensions of 330 feet down
both foul lines and 390 feet to
center field.
"After a couple years, a lot
of different teams were using
our field," Greg said. "The
coaches would comment that
they sure wished that their
field could look as nice as ours.
We said, 'Well we can take
care of this, and we can help
with yours.' That's when we
started the division to renovate
baseball fields. We used a lot
of specialty aggregate, like
the warning track material,
topdressing, sand, root zones,
all that kind of stuff. We
decided we could do it better
than the people that we were
buying it from. So we started
a separate business called Golf
and Sports Solutions."
