FAQs
What happens before replacement turf is installed? A turf replacement starts with a plan for the new system, field design, and removal of the existing materials. After the old turf is removed, the exposed base is evaluated and prepared for installation. Some fields need localized repairs or grading, while others require more extensive foundation work. Addressing those conditions before the new turf is laid helps avoid covering up problems that could affect the replacement field.
What are the benefits of recovering infill during turf replacement? Recovering existing infill creates an opportunity to recycle or reuse material that would otherwise be removed with the old field. Where reuse is suitable, it can reduce the need for new infill and lower the environmental impact and cost of replacement. Recovery must be planned as part of turf removal, with the material’s condition and the requirements of the replacement system determining what can be used again.
