Sod & Grass Removal for Turf — What to Know
Getting rid of your existing lawn for artificial turf isn't just about pulling up some grass; it's a precise process we've perfected over years. Our lawn prep for artificial grass begins with a thorough assessment of your Salem property, noting any specific challenges like steep grades or existing irrigation lines. We then carefully cut and remove all existing sod and grass, often going a bit deeper than you might expect to ensure we get rid of root systems that could potentially cause issues later. This step is critical, especially with invasive Southern grass types. Following removal, we address the underlying soil, often conditioning it to ensure optimal drainage and stability. We then bring in a compacted aggregate base, expertly graded and leveled, which is paramount for a smooth, even surface and efficient water shedding – a real blessing during our summer rainy season. This meticulous approach to grass removal for turf guarantees a robust and beautiful foundation for your new, maintenance-free lawn.
