Turf Removal & Replacement

When Old Turf Needs to Go

Artificial grass doesn't last forever. After 10-20 years, even the best turf starts showing its age. The fibers wear down and lose their color. Seams separate. Drainage slows. Infill compacts or disappears. When your turf reaches this point, it's time for replacement.

We provide complete turf removal and replacement services throughout Des Plaines. Whether you have old turf from a previous owner, damaged turf from improper installation, or simply outdated turf that doesn't match modern standards, we handle everything from tear-out to fresh installation. You get a brand new lawn without the hassles of DIY removal.

Signs Your Turf Needs Replacement

Not sure if your artificial grass needs replacing or just maintenance? Here are the clear indicators that it's time for new turf:

• •Visible Wear Patterns: Flattened areas that won't bounce back or bald spots where backing shows through.
• •Separation and Gaps: Seams pulling apart or gaps developing between turf sections.
• •Drainage Problems: Pooling water that takes hours to drain or persistent odors from trapped moisture.
• •Fading and Discoloration: Turf that looks washed out or has turned an unnatural color from UV damage.
• •Infill Issues: Missing infill that can't be refilled or hardened infill creating a concrete-like surface.
• •Age: Turf older than 15 years often needs replacement even if it looks okay at first glance.

Our Complete Removal and Replacement Process

We make turf replacement straightforward. First, we remove the old turf carefully to avoid damaging your property. We haul away all debris including the old turf, infill, and worn base materials. Then we inspect and repair the base layer, adding fresh materials where needed for proper drainage and stability.

Next comes installation of your new turf using modern techniques and products that far exceed what was available when your old turf was installed. Current turf technology offers better drainage, more realistic appearance, improved durability, and enhanced UV protection. The difference between old and new turf is dramatic. Many customers tell us they wish they'd replaced their turf sooner.

Why Choose Professional Removal

Removing artificial grass is heavy, dirty work. The turf weighs several pounds per square foot once you include infill. You need proper tools to cut and roll it. Disposal requires a large truck since landfills charge by weight. And if the base isn't properly prepared afterward, your new turf won't perform correctly.

We handle all of this efficiently. Our team removes the old turf in a single day for most residential projects. We dispose of everything responsibly, recycling turf materials when possible. The base gets properly graded and compacted. When we install your new turf, it's done right from the ground up. You avoid the backbreaking labor and disposal headaches while getting professional-quality results that last another 15-20 years.
