Turf Removal & Replacement

When It's Time for New Turf

Your artificial grass has served you well for years. But now it's showing its age. The fibers are matted down. The color has faded. Maybe the seams are separating or the infill has compacted. It happens. Even quality turf doesn't last forever.

The good news? Replacing old artificial grass is straightforward when you work with professionals who know what they're doing. We handle complete turf removal and replacement in Tuscaloosa, taking care of everything from pulling up the old material to installing beautiful new turf that will last another 15-20 years.

Signs You Need Turf Replacement

Here's how to know it's time for new artificial grass:

• •Visible wear patterns: High-traffic areas show matted or bare spots where backing shows through
• •Fading and discoloration: UV damage has turned bright green into dull gray or brown
• •Separating seams: Gaps appear between turf sections that were once invisible
• •Drainage problems: Water pools instead of draining because the base has settled
• •Persistent odors: Especially in pet areas where old turf can't be cleaned effectively anymore
• •Age: If your turf is 15+ years old, replacement makes more sense than repairs

Our Complete Removal Process

Removing old turf properly is just as important as installing new turf correctly. We don't take shortcuts that will cause problems down the road.

First, we carefully pull up the old turf and remove all nails, staples, and seaming tape. This prevents any sharp objects from puncturing your new turf. Next, we haul away all the old materials for proper disposal or recycling when possible.

Then we inspect and refresh the base. Over time, bases can settle or develop low spots. We add material where needed, re-grade for proper drainage, and compact everything to create a solid foundation. This step is critical because your new turf is only as good as what's underneath it. If you're also looking to upgrade surrounding areas, we offer new residential turf installation and paver and turf combinations.

Installing Your New Turf

Once the base is perfect, we install your new artificial grass using modern techniques and materials that far exceed what was available when your old turf went in.

Today's turf looks more realistic with varied blade colors and natural-looking thatch layers. The backing drains better. The fibers are more resilient and UV-resistant. You're getting a massive upgrade in quality compared to what you had before.

We can also customize your new installation based on how you actually use your space. Need better drainage in certain areas? We'll upgrade those sections. Want pet turf in the dog's favorite spots? We'll install specialized pet turf where it matters. Adding a putting green? We can incorporate that into the design.

Why Not Just Repair?

Sometimes repairs make sense for minor damage on newer turf. But when your turf is older or has multiple issues, replacement is the smarter choice.

Patching old turf rarely looks good because you can't match the faded color. Repairs don't fix underlying drainage problems or compacted bases. And you're still left with old turf that will continue degrading.

Full replacement gives you a fresh start with modern materials, updated drainage, and a properly prepared base. You're looking at another 15-20 years of beautiful, low-maintenance turf instead of limping along with something that's past its prime.

Timeline and Process

Most residential removal and replacement projects take 2-3 days. Day one involves removing old turf and preparing the base. Day two is new turf installation. Day three covers finishing touches and cleanup.

Larger commercial or athletic field replacements take longer, typically 1-2 weeks depending on size and complexity. We work efficiently to minimize downtime for your property.
