90% of the time, I stay the heck away from any ground work, with the possible exception of helping direct if the people who show up to do the work don't know what they are doing.
The exception to this is my local youth softball league, a league where everyone knows everyone and I was district director for a while - I'm often the first person there on those days, and have been known to bring out the chalk, bases, or pitcher's plate (or even dismantle the temporary baseball mound if it was left overnight) on occasion.
