What turf replacement involves

Turf replacement is the removal of an existing synthetic surface and its infill, correction of whatever is failing underneath, and installation of a modern turf system in its place. Old turf is cut into strips, lifted, and the sand or rubber infill is separated and hauled off. We then assess the base: if it is compacted, draining and correctly graded we regrade and reuse it, which meaningfully lowers the cost. If the original installer skipped compaction, used the wrong aggregate or built without positive drainage, we rebuild it so the new surface stays flat for its full service life.

The homeowners and property managers who call us for this are usually seeing the same symptoms: fibers that stay flat after brushing, faded or shiny color, seams that have opened, wrinkles and waves, low spots that puddle, or a persistent odor in a pet area. Some inherited the turf when they bought the home and have no idea how it was built. Either way, the replacement is also an upgrade — today's fibers, backings and cooling infills are substantially better than products from a decade ago.

Why Green Gorilla Turf

Why homeowners choose us for turf replacement

Replacement work rewards diagnosis over sales. Plenty of contractors quote a full teardown by default because it is simpler to price. We inspect the base first, core it where needed, and tell you honestly which portions can be salvaged — that conversation regularly saves clients a significant share of the project cost. It also means the new turf goes down over something we have personally verified rather than something we assumed.

Because we install our own work with our own crews, we know exactly which failures came from product and which came from installation, and we correct the actual cause instead of covering it. Drainage gets fixed, edges get anchored properly, seams get moved out of traffic lines. The replacement then carries the same coverage as a brand-new installation from us: a 3+ year workmanship warranty, a 15-year manufacturer warranty on the turf and a transparent price agreed before the first strip comes up.

Our Process

Our turf replacement process, step by step

  1. 1

    Failure assessment and honest recommendation

    We inspect fiber condition, seams, edges, infill depth, grade and drainage, then tell you whether you need full replacement, partial replacement or simply restoration.

  2. 2

    Turf and infill removal

    The old surface is cut, rolled and removed along with its infill, nails and weed barrier, and everything is hauled off the property.

  3. 3

    Base evaluation, repair or rebuild

    We test compaction and grade. Sound bases are regraded and reused; failed bases are excavated, corrected for drainage and rebuilt with properly compacted aggregate.

  4. 4

    New turf installation

    Modern turf is laid with consistent blade direction, seams relocated away from traffic, hand-nailed edges and a perimeter anchored to prevent lifting.

  5. 5

    Infill, grooming and warranty handover

    Fresh infill is brushed in, the surface is groomed and cleaned, and you receive full warranty documentation for the new system.

FAQ

Turf Replacement questions, answered

When should artificial turf be replaced?

When fibers no longer stand back up after brushing, color has visibly faded or gone shiny, seams have separated, or the base has settled enough to create dips that hold water. That is commonly 12 to 20 years for a well-built lawn — and as little as 4 to 6 years for turf installed over a poor base.

Can you reuse my existing turf base to save money?

Often, yes. If the aggregate is the right material, properly compacted, draining and graded, we regrade and reuse it. We only recommend a full rebuild when the base is the actual cause of the failure, and we show you what we found before you decide.

Can you replace just one section of failing turf?

Sometimes. Partial replacement works when the failure is isolated, but be aware that new turf next to older turf rarely color-matches exactly. We will tell you upfront whether a patch will look right or whether the area should be done as a unit.

My pet turf smells — will replacement fix it?

Yes, when the cause is addressed. Odor almost always comes from a non-permeable backing, a clogged base or the wrong infill trapping liquids. We remove the contaminated infill, correct drainage and install a pet-specific system with antimicrobial infill.

What happens to my old artificial turf?

We remove and haul away the old turf, infill and fasteners as part of the project scope, and disposal is included in the quoted price rather than billed as an extra.
