Abstract/Contents:Discusses the maintenance strategies employed by William T. Patton, Jr., the superintendent of grounds at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. Focuses on difficulties from the school's multi-purpose bermudagrass field, stating that because it "is used for baseball and softball as well as soccer, [the superintendent] faced a dilemma as to whether or not baseball and softball would have skinned infields beyond the grass diamonds." Describes the process of switching the field from baseball to soccer every summer. Explains the school's integrated pest management (IPM) approach, emphasizing its use of "environmentally conscious pesticides." Mentions the superintendent's use of hybrid bluegrass in common areas.
