Time for an Upgrade?

Old artificial turf doesn't last forever. After years of use and sun exposure, even the best turf eventually shows its age. You might notice fading colors, matted-down fibers that won't stand up anymore, seams that have separated, or backing material that's deteriorating. When your turf reaches this point, it's time for replacement.

We specialize in removing old turf and installing new grass that looks better and performs better than what you had before. Modern artificial grass has improved dramatically over the past decade. New products look more realistic, feel softer, and last longer than older generations of turf. Replacing your old turf gives you all these benefits.

Signs Your Turf Needs Replacement

How do you know when it's time to replace your artificial grass? Here are the common signs we see:

  • Visible wear and tear: Bare spots, thinning areas, or completely worn-through sections
  • Faded color: Grass has turned from green to pale yellow or gray from sun exposure
  • Matted fibers: Blades lay flat and won't spring back when brushed
  • Drainage problems: Water pools on the surface instead of draining through
  • Separated seams: Gaps between turf sections where the seaming has failed
  • Backing deterioration: The backing material is crumbling or falling apart

If you're experiencing any of these issues, replacement makes more sense than trying to repair the turf. Old turf that's worn out will only continue to deteriorate.

How We Remove and Replace Turf

The removal process is straightforward but labor-intensive. We start by pulling up the old turf, including all the nails, staples, or adhesive holding it down. Then we remove the old infill material. Depending on the condition of your existing base, we may reuse it or rebuild it from scratch.

If the base is in good shape, we clean it up, add fresh material where needed, and compact it properly. If the base has settled unevenly or has drainage problems, we excavate and rebuild it to current standards. This ensures your new turf will perform well for years to come.

After the base is ready, we install your new artificial grass using the same professional techniques we use for all our installations. We measure carefully, cut precisely, seam invisibly, and secure everything properly. Most residential turf replacement projects take two to three days from start to finish. When considering new turf, many homeowners also upgrade to specialized products like our pet turf systems or add features like backyard putting greens.

Benefits of Modern Artificial Grass

If your existing turf is more than 8 to 10 years old, you'll notice significant improvements with modern products. Today's artificial grass looks much more realistic with varied blade shapes, multiple green tones, and brown thatch layers that mimic real grass. The materials are softer and more comfortable underfoot.

Modern turf also performs better. UV protection has improved, so the grass resists fading longer. Drainage rates are faster, especially important in Florida where heavy rain is common. The backing materials are stronger and more durable. And installation techniques have advanced, resulting in better seaming and longer-lasting installations.

When you replace old turf with new grass, you're not just fixing what you had. You're upgrading to a product that looks better and will last longer than your original installation.
