Little League and B. H. Graning Landscapes makes improvements to batting cages in Jackson County.

"The cages at Fairview have been in place for over 15 years.  Little League and Jackson County constructed cages at Mark Watson in 2022.  Little League obtained 14 rolls of the old turf at WCU football stadium.  B. H. Graning picked up and delivered those rolls to each respective park.  They prepared pads and installed the turf in each respective cage.  B. H. Graning Landscapes did this at a very low cost to Little League as a service to the community.   We are very blessed to B. H. Graning Landscapes as a faithful corporate for Little League.
