So… Can You Install Artificial Turf Over Real Grass?
Why Experts Recommend Removing the Grass First
Creating a Stable, Long-Lasting Base During installation, we always remove the organic layer of grass and roots from our client’s space. Without this, the ground will eventually shift and sink as the natural materials break down. This can lead to an uneven surface, undermining the longevity and appearance of your new lawn.
Ensuring Proper Drainage and Surface Grading Artificial grass over an existing lawn can trap moisture, causing soggy patches that may lead to mold or mildew. Removing the grass ensures proper surface grading and prevents drainage issues, helping your turf stay dry and clean.
Preventing Future Maintenance Headaches A solid, well-prepared base reduces the risk of common problems like weeds, bumps, and drainage issues — all of which can lead to expensive repairs down the line.
