Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Artificial Turf (And Why It Matters)
February 12, 2024

Artificial turf is built to last—but even high-quality installations can reach the end of their lifespan after years of sun, foot traffic, and Texas weather. If your lawn isn’t looking or performing like it used to, it might be time for a professional turf replacement.

At Kingswood Turf, we specialize in turf removal and replacement for homeowners across the DFW area. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the most common signs your artificial grass needs an upgrade—and why timely replacement matters.

1. Fading or Discoloration

Over time, prolonged exposure to the Texas sun can fade even the best turf. If your once-green lawn is now dull or uneven in color, it’s a strong sign the turf has aged past its prime.

New turf offers:

  • Rich, natural-looking color
  • UV protection for long-term vibrancy
  • A major curb appeal upgrade

2. Flattened or Matted Turf Fibers

Foot traffic, kids playing, or even lounging pets can flatten turf blades over time. If brushing or fluffing no longer restores the look, replacement may be needed.

Fresh artificial turf brings back:

  • Soft, upright fibers
  • Realistic texture and feel
  • A freshly-installed, premium look

3. Worn Seams or Edges Coming Loose

Seams that separate, curl up, or come unglued are more than cosmetic issues—they can create tripping hazards and allow water to collect underneath.

At Kingswood Turf, we:

  • Remove damaged turf with precision
  • Install seamless, secure edges
  • Ensure the final product looks flawless and functions properly

4. Poor Drainage or Water Pooling

If you’re noticing puddles, slow draining, or foul odors, it may be due to a failed drainage base or compacted infill. This affects not only turf performance but also cleanliness and safety.

Turf replacement solves this by:

  • Installing a fresh, compacted drainage base
  • Upgrading to modern infill materials
  • Restoring safe and effective water flow

5. Torn or Damaged Patches

Tears, holes, and visible damage from pets or wear indicate that the turf can no longer stand up to use. Small issues can snowball into major problems if not addressed.

Kingswood Turf’s replacement process includes:

  • Full turf removal and haul away
  • Durable, pet-friendly upgrades
  • Long-lasting materials that resist future wear

6. Turf Age: 10+ Years Old

Even the best turf has a lifespan. If it’s been over a decade since your turf was installed, it's likely time for a full refresh.

Why replace now?

  • Prevent bigger issues like drainage failure
  • Upgrade to more realistic and eco-friendly turf options
  • Restore a flawless, modern lawn for the next 10–15 years
