Turf Removal & Replacement

When It's Time for New Turf

Artificial grass doesn't last forever. After 10 to 20 years, depending on quality and usage, even the best turf starts showing its age. You might notice fading, flattened areas that won't bounce back, seams coming apart, or drainage problems. Maybe the previous installation was done poorly and never worked right in the first place. Whatever the reason, replacing old turf with new can completely transform your property.

We handle complete turf removal and replacement throughout Bloomington for residential, commercial, and athletic properties. This isn't just about pulling up old turf and laying down new. Done right, it includes proper disposal of materials, inspecting and improving the base layer, addressing any drainage issues, and installing modern turf products that will perform better and last longer than what you had before.

Signs Your Turf Needs Replacing

Not sure if you need new turf or just repairs? Here are the common indicators that it's time for a full replacement rather than a patch job:

• Widespread Fading - UV damage has turned your once-vibrant grass into a pale, bleached-out shadow of what it was
• Flattened Fibers - High-traffic areas have compressed permanently and won't stand back up no matter what you do
• Seam Failures - Sections are separating and creating trip hazards that keep getting worse
• Poor Drainage - Water pools on the surface instead of draining, creating muddy spots and odor issues
• Visible Infill - The backing is showing through because the fibers are worn down or missing
• Age - Your turf is over 15 years old and showing multiple signs of wear

If you're experiencing two or more of these issues, replacement typically makes more financial sense than trying to repair everything piecemeal. We'll give you an honest assessment during our free consultation.

Our Removal and Replacement Process

Proper turf removal is about more than just ripping out the old grass. We take a systematic approach that sets you up for a better result with your new installation. Here's what to expect when you work with TurfPeak Bloomington:

Step 1: Complete Removal - We carefully remove all existing turf, including edges, seams, and any attached materials. This gives us a clean slate to work with.

Step 2: Base Inspection - We evaluate your current base layer. Sometimes it's in good shape and just needs minor adjustments. Other times we find drainage issues or settling that need to be corrected.

Step 3: Base Improvements - If needed, we'll add drainage solutions, regrade for better water flow, or rebuild sections of the base. This is your chance to fix underlying problems that have been causing issues.

Step 4: New Installation - We install your new turf using current best practices and modern materials. This includes proper seaming, secure edging, and quality infill materials designed for your specific application.

Throughout the process, we handle all disposal and recycling of your old turf materials according to local regulations. You won't have to worry about hauling anything away or dealing with cleanup.

Upgrade to Modern Turf Technology

If your current turf is more than 10 years old, you'll be amazed at how much artificial grass has improved. Today's products look more realistic, feel softer underfoot, drain better, stay cooler, and last longer than older generations. This is especially true for specialized applications like pet turf systems and playground safety surfaces.

When you replace old turf, you also get the opportunity to reconsider your layout. Maybe you want to extend coverage to areas that are still natural grass. Perhaps you'd like to add features like decorative pavers or landscape accents. We can redesign your outdoor space as part of the replacement process.
