Turf Removal & Replacement

When to Replace Your Artificial Grass

Artificial turf lasts 10-20 years depending on quality and usage, but eventually it needs replacement. You might notice the turf looking flat and worn, with fibers that no longer stand upright. Color fading makes the grass look dull instead of vibrant green. Seams might be separating, or you see visible damage in high-traffic areas.

Turf removal and replacement gives you a fresh start with modern materials that outperform older products. Today's artificial grass looks more realistic, feels softer, drains better, and lasts longer than turf from even 5-10 years ago. If your current turf is past its prime, replacement makes sense. You get all the benefits of new turf without the worn, tired appearance of old materials.

Our Complete Removal Process

Professional Removal Without Property Damage

Removing old turf requires care to avoid damaging irrigation systems, hardscaping, or existing base materials you want to keep. Here is how we handle every removal project:

• •Assessment: We inspect your existing turf and base to determine what can be reused
• •Careful Removal: We cut and roll the old turf without disturbing surrounding landscaping
• •Base Evaluation: We check if the existing base needs repairs or can be used as-is
• •Disposal: We haul away all old materials and dispose of them responsibly
• •Preparation: We prepare the surface for new turf installation with any needed repairs

The removal process typically takes one day for residential properties. We handle everything so you do not have to deal with disposal or cleanup.

Benefits of Modern Artificial Grass

Artificial grass technology has improved dramatically over the past decade. If your current turf is more than 8-10 years old, you will notice significant differences with new materials. Modern turf looks incredibly realistic with varied blade shapes, multiple shades of green, and brown thatch that mimics natural grass.

The turf feels softer and more comfortable underfoot. Drainage systems are more advanced, preventing water pooling even during heavy rain. Heat-reflective technology keeps the surface cooler in summer. Durability has improved, so new turf lasts longer with less maintenance. Whether you are replacing worn residential artificial grass or updating pet turf systems, modern materials perform better in every way. You will wonder why you waited so long to upgrade.

What Replacement Projects Cost

Understanding Removal and Installation Pricing

Turf replacement costs include both removal and new installation. Removal typically adds $2-4 per square foot to your project depending on how the old turf was installed and whether the base needs work. If your existing base is in good condition, we can often reuse it, which saves money compared to a complete new installation.

Many homeowners in Torrance find that replacement costs about 70-80% of what they originally paid for installation. The good news is that you get modern materials that will last another 15-20 years. When you factor in the improved appearance, better performance, and extended lifespan, replacement delivers excellent value. We provide detailed quotes that break down removal costs separately from installation so you understand exactly what you are paying for.
