Turf Removal & Replacement
Expert removal of old artificial turf and installation of modern, high-performance replacement systems.
When Your Artificial Turf Needs Replacement
Artificial turf does not last forever. Even high-quality installations eventually wear out from UV exposure, heavy use, and time. You might notice the grass fibers looking matted or faded. Seams might be separating. The infill might have compacted or washed away. These are all signs your turf has reached the end of its useful life.
Most artificial turf lasts 10 to 15 years depending on quality and use. If your turf is approaching that age, replacement makes more sense than trying to patch or repair it. Modern turf products are dramatically better than what was available even 5 years ago. You get improved drainage, more realistic appearance, better durability, and superior feel underfoot.
We remove and replace artificial turf for homeowners, businesses, and athletic facilities throughout Lee's Summit. Whether your old turf was installed by another company or you inherited it with a property purchase, we handle the complete removal and installation of your new system.
How Turf Removal and Replacement Works
Removing old turf requires proper equipment and technique to avoid damaging your base or surrounding landscaping. Here is what our removal and replacement process includes:
- Complete removal of old turf, nails, staples, and adhesive materials
- Inspection and evaluation of the existing base material for reuse or replacement
- Base repair or complete reconstruction depending on condition and drainage needs
- Installation of modern turf products with improved performance characteristics
- Proper infill selection and application for optimal turf performance and longevity
- Disposal or recycling of old turf materials in accordance with local regulations
In many cases, we can reuse your existing base layer if it was properly installed and has good drainage. This reduces project costs and speeds installation. When the base needs work, we fix drainage issues or grading problems that may have existed with the original installation. You end up with a better system than you had before.
Why Replace Instead of Repair
You might be tempted to patch seams, add more infill, or try other repairs to extend your old turf's life. While minor repairs can work for relatively new installations, older turf often has problems throughout the entire surface. Patching one area just means another area fails next month.
Complete replacement gives you a fresh start with warranty coverage and modern materials. New turf products drain better, look more realistic, and require less maintenance than older generations. You also get the chance to fix any issues with the original installation, like poor drainage or improper grading, that have caused problems for years.
The cost difference between extensive repairs and full replacement is often minimal, especially when you factor in the warranty and expected lifespan of the new system.
