Turf Removal & Replacement

When It's Time to Replace Your Turf

Even quality artificial grass eventually wears out. After 10 to 15 years of use, you might notice fading colors, matted fibers that will not stand back up, visible seams pulling apart, or drainage problems from compacted base materials. These signs tell you it is time for replacement rather than trying to patch or repair failing turf.

We handle complete turf removal and replacement projects throughout West Allis. Whether your existing artificial grass was installed by another company or you are upgrading from an older generation product, we remove everything down to bare soil and install a completely new system using modern materials and proper techniques.

What Our Removal Process Includes

Removing old artificial grass is not as simple as pulling it up. We handle every step to ensure your new installation starts with a clean foundation:

• Complete removal of existing artificial grass and seaming tape
• Extraction of old infill materials (rubber crumb, sand, or other products)
• Removal of degraded base materials that no longer drain properly
• Proper disposal or recycling of all removed materials
• Base grading correction to fix drainage issues or settling problems
• Fresh crushed rock base installation with proper compaction

Starting with a proper foundation is critical for long-term performance. Shortcuts at this stage lead to drainage problems, uneven surfaces, and premature turf failure.

Upgrade to Modern Turf Technology

Artificial grass technology has improved dramatically in recent years. If your current turf is 8 to 10 years old or older, you will notice significant differences with modern products. Today's turf uses softer fibers that feel more natural, advanced UV protection that resists fading much longer, and improved backing systems that drain faster and last longer.

Color technology has also evolved. Older turf often used single-color blades that looked obviously fake. Current products blend multiple shades of green with brown thatch layers that create realistic depth and texture. The visual difference between old and new turf is striking, even to people who could not care less about landscaping details.

Common Reasons for Turf Replacement

Beyond normal wear and age, several specific problems indicate you need replacement rather than repairs. Widespread blade matting that brushing cannot fix means the backing has failed. Visible seam separation across multiple joints suggests the base has settled unevenly. Persistent odors despite cleaning indicate the drainage system has failed or infill has degraded.

Some homeowners replace turf simply because they want to upgrade to better products. If you bought the cheapest turf available 5 to 7 years ago and regret the look or feel, replacement with premium residential turf makes sense before you reach end of life. We have handled numerous upgrade projects for West Allis homeowners who wanted better visual appeal or softer texture for kids and pets. Many customers also combine turf replacement with landscape renovations like adding patios or reconfiguring yard layouts.
