Artificial grass removal

Hello It work have to be taken up see what is underneath as there should be Sand which is ok to be mixed in with new top soil for new grass I would say do the back or front first get new turf down on one then do the other one so you still have somewhere for dog to go then your not trying to water back and front same time plus it’ always depends on the size of both areas

hi, depending on how well the artificial turf was laid. if it was laid properly, then there will be a free draining hardcore base, membrane, and then sand. this would require a skip for the disposal of the hardcore and some of the sand ( as some can be blended back in). then fill with topsoil. if price is an issue, turf the back and seed the front. ideally the soil needs to be a minimum of 100mm, if you intend to keep the hardcore in, but make sure it is free draining.

First thing will be to peel back a section of artificial grass and inspect the base materials. Lots of plastic mesh, membrane & sand is quite typical to find. It's likely you'll need a fresh layer of top soil, at least 2inches across. Once the old turf is removed it would be prepping the ground appropriately. Cultivating, top soil/amendments, levelling etc. The final steps are to sow seed or lay your turf and watering.

The artificial grass would need lifting first so we can assess the existing base, as this determines how much excavation and new topsoil is required before laying fresh turf. We could also complete the front and rear separately to minimise disruption for your dog and toddler.

It would depend what the base under the grass is. Also need to consider whether to use turf or seed the areas, both options have things going for them.

Is dificult to day what is under artificial grass could be clay and lots of roks , whe this need to be cleared first ,to some point of grand level , posibly some of the soil can ne save , however better order soil in bulk , and this deepending then after
