Turf Removal & Replacement

Signs Your Artificial Turf Needs Replacement

Artificial turf doesn't last forever. Even quality installations eventually show their age. If your turf is 10-15 years old, it's probably time to consider replacement. Older turf technology doesn't match modern products in appearance, durability, or comfort. Plus, worn-out turf stops looking good and starts causing problems that make your yard less enjoyable.

You're probably ready for turf replacement if you notice matted or flattened areas that won't bounce back, fading or discoloration from sun exposure, visible seams pulling apart or lifting, drainage problems causing puddles, infill loss leaving bald spots, or the turf just looks obviously fake and worn. Rialto homeowners often contact us when their old turf becomes an eyesore rather than an asset. Modern turf looks dramatically better and performs far superior to installations from even 5-7 years ago.

How We Handle Complete Turf Removal

Clean, efficient removal process

Removing old artificial turf correctly matters more than most people realize. Poor removal damages the base, creates disposal problems, and makes the new installation harder. Our process ensures clean removal and proper preparation for your new turf:

• •Complete Turf Removal: We remove all old turf, padding, and infill material from your yard
• •Base Assessment: We inspect and evaluate the existing base for proper drainage and stability
• •Base Repairs: We fix any drainage issues or settling problems before new installation
• •Edge Renovation: We repair or replace damaged edging and borders as needed
• •Proper Disposal: We haul away all old materials and dispose of them responsibly
• •Site Preparation: We prepare the surface properly for your new turf installation

Most removal and replacement projects are completed in 2-3 days, including both removal and new installation. You'll have minimal downtime and a dramatically improved yard when we're finished.

Why Modern Turf Is Worth the Upgrade

Artificial turf technology has improved dramatically in recent years. New products look more realistic, feel softer, drain better, and last longer than turf from just a few years ago. The difference between old and new turf is like comparing a flip phone to a smartphone. Both technically work, but the modern version is vastly superior in every way.

Today's turf features more realistic color variations that mimic natural grass. The fibers are softer and more resilient, bouncing back better after use. Drainage systems are far more efficient, preventing puddles even during heavy rain. The backing is more durable and the seaming techniques create invisible connections. Modern turf also stays cooler than older products, making your yard more comfortable during Rialto summers.

If you have pets, new turf makes an even bigger difference. Modern pet turf systems include antimicrobial infill and enhanced drainage that old turf can't match. Your yard stays fresher and cleaner with far less effort. Want specialized turf for your pets? Learn about our pet turf systems designed specifically for dogs.

Making the Smart Investment Decision

Replacing old turf costs less than the original installation because the base and edging are usually still good. You're primarily paying for the new turf product, removal labor, and installation. Most Rialto homeowners find replacement costs run 60-75% of new installation prices, making it much more affordable than they expected.

Timing matters. The longer you wait to replace failing turf, the more underlying damage can occur. Poor drainage from old turf can cause base erosion. Lifting edges create tripping hazards. Worn turf looks bad and defeats the purpose of having artificial grass in the first place. Replacing turf proactively prevents bigger problems and ensures you continue enjoying your yard.

We handle the entire project from removal through new installation. You get modern, warrantied turf that will last another 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. That's excellent value for significantly improving your outdoor space. Plus, new turf can increase your property value if you're thinking about selling. Planning a complete yard renovation?
