Sod & Grass Removal for Turf — What to Know

Our grass removal for turf process begins with a thorough assessment of your Plains property. First, we carefully mark out the areas designated for artificial turf installation. Then, we get to work with precision, removing all existing sod and grass, along with the top layer of soil. This isn't just about clearing a surface; it's about eliminating future weed growth and creating the correct sub-grade for optimal drainage, a critical factor given our heavy thunderstorms. Following removal, we address any existing drainage issues and establish a proper slope away from your home or business. Next, we prepare the sub-base, compacting the soil and adding a layer of crusher run or similar aggregate. This step is vital for stability and ensures your new artificial lawn remains level and beautiful for decades. This meticulous lawn prep for artificial grass ensures a flawless, durable installation that will withstand whatever Plains weather throws its way, from drought to downpour.
