Turf Removal & Replacement

When It's Time to Replace Your Old Artificial Grass

Artificial grass eventually wears out. If your turf is more than 10 years old, you are probably noticing problems. The grass looks flat and matted. Drainage slows down and water pools on the surface. Seams separate and infill migrates away from high-traffic areas. Faded colors make your yard look tired and worn. These are signs your turf needs replacement.

Castro Valley homeowners call us when their old artificial grass stops performing. Maybe it was installed poorly in the first place. Maybe the materials were low-quality. Maybe it simply reached the end of its lifespan. Whatever the reason, we remove old turf completely and install new systems using modern materials that dramatically outperform older products.

Complete Removal Process

Removing old artificial grass is not as simple as pulling it up. We handle every step professionally. First, we remove the existing turf and dispose of it properly. Then we evaluate the base layer underneath. Often the base has compacted or settled unevenly over the years, creating drainage issues and surface irregularities.

We fix these underlying problems during replacement. Our process includes:

• Complete removal of old turf and infill materials
• Inspection and repair of base layer drainage
• Re-grading to correct settlement and slope issues
• Installation of improved drainage systems if needed
• Fresh base material compacted to proper specifications
• Modern artificial grass with better performance
• Proper edge securing and professional seaming
• Quality infill distributed to optimal depth

Today's Turf Is Dramatically Better

If your artificial grass is 10 or 15 years old, you will be amazed at how much the technology has improved. Modern turf looks incredibly realistic with varied blade shapes, multiple colors, and natural texture. The backing materials drain faster. The fibers stay upright better and resist matting. UV protection keeps colors vibrant for much longer.

Newer turf also feels softer and more comfortable. Manufacturing improvements have created products that truly mimic real grass in appearance and feel. Your yard will look brand new again with a properly installed modern system.

Why Replace Instead of Repair

Some people ask if they can just patch or repair problem areas. The honest answer is that extensive repairs on old turf usually do not make sense. Patches rarely match the color of aged turf. Repaired seams fail again quickly. You end up spending money on temporary fixes while the rest of the turf continues deteriorating.

Replacement gives you a fresh start. You get modern materials, proper installation, improved drainage, and a warranty on the new system. The difference in appearance and performance is dramatic. Most homeowners wish they had replaced their turf sooner once they see the results.

When upgrading your turf, consider enhancing your entire outdoor space. Many homeowners combine new residential artificial grass with other improvements. If you have pets, specialized pet turf systems offer better drainage and odor control than standard products.

For complete backyard transformations, we provide combined paver and turf installations that create defined spaces and professional landscaping alongside your new turf.
