Lifting seams, sinking spots, pet odor, burn marks, matted yarn — most artificial turf failures are repairable for 10-30% of replacement cost. We fix what others installed.
If your turf is lifting at seams, holding pet odor, sinking in spots, or showing burn marks — it's almost certainly repairable. We've restored 400+ Cobb County yards installed by other contractors. Free assessment tells you exactly what's wrong and what it costs to fix.
| Failure | Cause | Our Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Lifting seams | Glued seams in summer humidity, or no heat-bond | Heat-bond re-seam with pro seam tape |
| Low-spot sinkholes | Inadequate base prep on Georgia clay — settles unevenly | Lift turf, regrade and recompact base, re-lay |
| Pet urine odor | Cheap infill, undersized drainage | Extract infill, enzymatic flush, re-infill with antimicrobial silica or Zeofill |
| Matted, flat yarn | UV-unstable polyethylene, no infill maintenance | Power brush + re-infill; replace if backing compromised |
| Burn marks (grill / window reflection) | Concentrated heat > 200°F | Patch panel with color-matched yarn; recommend window screen/film if reflection |
| Faded color | Non-UV-stabilized fiber from budget rolls | Panel replacement with UV-rated turf — usually full-yard re-do is more economical here |
| Visible nails / staples | Improper edge fastening | Remove fasteners, re-edge with concrete or composite border |
| Repair Type | Typical Range | Time on Site |
|---|---|---|
| Single seam re-bond | $150 - $300 | 1-2 hours |
| Small patch (4'x4' panel) | $400 - $800 | 2-4 hours |
| Re-infill 500 sq ft yard | $500 - $900 | Half day |
| Pet-odor extraction + re-infill | $800 - $1,400 | Half to 1 day |
| Multi-panel replacement | $1,200 - $3,500 | 1-2 days |
| Full base re-grade + re-lay | Priced as new install | 2-4 days |
All ranges include materials, labor, and disposal. Actual price depends on access, area, and turf grade. Free on-site assessment locks in exact cost.
About 60% of our repair calls are turf installed by other contractors, big-box DIY, or out-of-state crews who don't return calls. We don't care who put it in. We care about fixing it right and making it last. Your only requirement: be in our service area (Cobb, Cherokee, Paulding, Bartow, Fulton, Forsyth, North Atlanta).
Most failures are repairable. Lifting seams, low-spot sinkholes, pet odor, matted yarn, and burn spots from grills or magnifying-window reflection can all be patched, re-seamed, re-infilled, or panel-replaced — usually for 10-30% of the cost of a full replacement.
Small seam re-bond: $150-$300. Patch panel replacement (4'x4'): $400-$800. Re-infill of a 500 sq ft yard: $500-$900. Full base re-grade and re-lay: priced like a fresh install. Free on-site assessment lets us tell you exactly what your yard needs before you commit.
Yes. We repair turf installed by any contractor — local, big-box, or DIY. We'll match yarn color and pile height as closely as possible from our manufacturer-direct stock. If we can't get an exact match we'll tell you upfront.
Seam re-bonds and small patches: 1-2 hours. Re-infill: half a day. Multi-area panel replacement: 1 day. Major base re-grade: 2-3 days. We work in any weather above 40°F.
Top failure causes in our climate: (1) inadequate base prep on Georgia red clay — settles unevenly, (2) cheap UV-unstable yarn that fades and matts within 3-5 years, (3) glued seams instead of heat-bonded — lift in summer humidity, (4) pet urine accumulating in low-spec infill — odor, (5) reflection burns from low-E windows. We diagnose and fix all five.
Yes. Repairs we perform carry a 1-year workmanship warranty. If we install replacement panels with new turf, those panels carry our 15-Year Platinum Promise Plan.
Usually yes. We extract contaminated infill, deep-flush with enzymatic solution, then re-infill with antimicrobial silica or Zeofill. Stops the odor and prevents recurrence. Replacement is only needed if the backing has been compromised.
Small burns: panel patch with color-matched yarn. Window-reflection damage (Low-E windows can focus enough sun to melt yarn): we patch and recommend installing window screens or films on the offending window — otherwise the damage recurs.

Most repairs cost 10-30% of full replacement.
