Diamond Nation located in Hunterdon County, New Jersey recently opened a new stadium built by The LandTek Group®. The 105,000 sq. ft. synthetic turf stadium is complete with three baseball fields, dugouts, bleachers, and a Musco lighting system. The scope of the turn-key project also included ground-up construction, drainage, and fencing. New concrete walkways connect the new field to their existing fields.
The Diamond Nation complex consists of five fields with 90’ basepaths and two fields with 50/70 basepaths. The facility features a unique design unlike any other in the country with the larger fields capable of being converted into two Little League size fields, each having its own backstops, dugouts, and bullpens. This gives the complex the ability to play twelve games at a time and the versatility to have both baseball and softball games.
The LandTek Group® recently completed large-scale improvements to Bergen Catholic’s high school football stadium in Oradell, NJ.

They brought professionalism and clarity to our project and helped us communicate our messages to constituents within our school community. We are proud to work with LandTek and feel fortunate for their partnership and friendship as together we embark on other campus-wide projects.” Dr. Brian Mahoney: President – Bergen Catholic
This NCAA Division I Baseball facility project was completed in September of 2016, providing Villanova University with the much needed modernized athletic facilities necessary to support their growing baseball program. The major improvements made to the Villanova Ballpark at Plymouth Baseball Complex afford the Division I baseball program an unlimited ability to practice and compete along with minimal maintenance and/or cancellations regardless of weather conditions. The newly improved facility contains a new state of the art three tone synthetic turf infield. The construction of this complex also involved a sub-base drainage system designed to tie into and work in unison with the existing extensive storm water system.

It includes a synthetic multi-purpose field to accommodate soccer, little league baseball/softball, a new decorative retaining wall, new restroom building with utility services, extensive netting system due to its urban location, new sports lighting, decorative fencing and decorative stamped concrete and landscaping.
The LandTek Group® recently completed a natural turf to synthetic turf conversion for the James Vernon Field in East Norwich.
