Turf Removal & Replacement

Signs It's Time for Replacement

How do you know when your artificial turf needs replacement rather than just maintenance? Here are the clear warning signs:

• •Visible wear patterns: High-traffic areas show matted, flattened fibers that won't stand back up even with brushing.
• •Fading or discoloration: UV damage turns your once-vibrant green turf into a dull, yellowish color.
• •Seam separation: You can see gaps between turf sections or the seams are pulling apart.
• •Drainage problems: Water pools on the surface instead of draining through quickly.
• •Odor issues: Persistent smells that don't improve with cleaning, especially in pet areas.
• •Wrinkles or buckling: The turf no longer lays flat and has ripples or waves in the surface.

If you're experiencing several of these issues, replacement makes more sense than continuing to patch and repair. Modern turf products are significantly better than what was available even five years ago. You'll be amazed at the improvement.

Our Professional Removal Process

Removing artificial turf properly requires the right tools and techniques. We don't just rip it up and leave you with a mess. Here's how we handle turf removal. First, we carefully remove the old turf in sections to avoid damaging the base underneath. Next, we remove all old infill material that's contaminated or degraded. Then, we inspect the base layer for problems like compaction, erosion, or poor drainage. We make any necessary repairs to ensure proper drainage and stability. Finally, we grade and level the surface to current industry standards, preparing for new turf installation.

Many people are surprised at how much work is involved in proper removal. The old turf and infill are heavy and bulky. We handle all the disposal so you don't have to worry about getting rid of materials. We also recycle what we can to minimize environmental impact. If you're looking to upgrade to premium residential artificial grass, this preparation step is crucial for the best results.

Benefits of New Modern Turf

Artificial grass technology has improved dramatically in recent years. When you replace old turf with modern products, you get significant upgrades. Newer turf looks more realistic with varied blade shapes and multiple green tones. It feels softer and more comfortable underfoot. Better backing materials provide superior drainage. Advanced infill options improve performance and reduce odors. More durable fibers last longer and resist matting. Improved UV resistance prevents fading and color loss.

If you have pets, newer pet turf systems with antimicrobial properties work much better than older products. If you have kids, safety features have improved too. The difference in quality between old and new turf is substantial, making replacement a worthwhile investment.
