When is the Right Time to Replace Your Turf Field?
Has your turf taken on a grayish-green color or a noticeably lighter shade than its original look? Color change is usually a sign of UV degradation and the first indication that your artificial turf field is nearing the end of its lifespan. You may look past a worn field appearance, but synthetic turf in serious need of replacement can put your athletes at risk. Synthetic turf is typically designed to last for a minimum of 8 years and depending on the level of use and ongoing maintenance, can often exceed this. But – even a well-kept field will show some signs of aging with years of heavy use. How will you know when it’s time to replace your turf?
Turf Replacement Installation:
- Splitting at the ends of turf fibers
- Shedding of turf fibers
- Seam separation
- Loose field inlays that require frequent repair to prevent injury risk
- Lines and inlays that appear more worn than the rest of the field
- A firmer feeling underfoot

When is the Right Time to Replace Your Turf Field?
When player safety begins to decline, it’s time to replace your turf field. Even the highest-quality artificial turf fields eventually succumb to elemental degradation and athletic wear and tear. Since many variables can influence the integrity, performance, and lifespan of a turf field, we recommend seeking our turf-replacement experts for a comprehensive field evaluation.
We document objective findings such as infill depth, shock absorption, and grass integrity for a transparent overview that empowers you to make the right maintenance and replacement decisions for your facility.

The Turf Replacement Process
If it is determined that replacement is the best option for your facility, we take the guesswork out of the entire process.
First, we organize a detailed replacement plan that accounts for artificial turf performance, budget, and design preferences. After finalizing the design, we remove old turf, infill, and other base materials. If necessary, additional excavation or foundational repairs may be required to establish a stronger base for the turf replacement.
With the field preparation complete, it’s time to bring in the fresh turf! The turf installation steps include:
- 1. Rolling out and anchoring the new turf
- 2. Sealing the seams and securing the edges
- 3. Applying and compacting the new infill
- 4. Adding/replacing perimeter retaining features if necessary
- 5. Striping the field and applying logos if desired
- 6. Field testing for turf stability and proper infill distribution
