Turf repair and restretching

Most problems are fixable without replacing the whole yard.

Home Services Turf Repair

Artificial turf rarely fails all at once. It develops specific problems in specific places, and most of them are repairable at a fraction of replacement cost.

What we repair

Separated seams

The most common call. Seams open when the original adhesive or seam tape failed, or when ground movement pulled the panels apart. We lift the edges, clean back to sound material, and re-seam properly.

Ripples and wrinkles

Turf that was not stretched adequately at installation relaxes and buckles, usually in summer heat. Restretching pulls it taut and re-anchors the perimeter.

Burns and melt marks

Grills, fire pits, cigarettes and reflected window glare all melt turf fibres. These do not recover, but they patch well — we cut out the damaged section and inlay a matched piece. If you have offcuts from your original installation, keep them, because they colour-match perfectly.

Pet damage

Occasionally a determined dog gets under an edge. We re-anchor and, where the fibres are shredded, patch the section.

Flattened, matted turf

High-traffic paths mat over time. Power brooming with fresh infill stands the fibres back up and often restores turf people assumed was finished.

Low infill

Infill migrates over years. Topping it up improves how the turf feels, how the blades stand, and how long they last. It is inexpensive and routinely overlooked.

When repair is not the answer

If the base has failed — standing water, ruts, widespread settling — surface repairs will not hold. We will tell you that rather than take payment for a fix that reopens in a year. Replacement options here.

Turf we did not install

We repair any installation, not only our own.

What it costs

Most repairs fall between $200 and $900 depending on scope. Power brooming and infill top-up for a typical yard is usually the low end. Call and describe the problem and we will give you a realistic range before scheduling.

Answers

Common questions

Do you repair turf you didn't install?
Yes, any installation.
My turf has ripples — can that be fixed?
Usually. Ripples mean it wasn't stretched enough at installation. Restretching and re-anchoring the perimeter resolves it.
Can burn marks be repaired?
Melted fibres don't recover, but the section can be cut out and patched with matched turf. Keep any offcuts from your original install — they colour-match perfectly.
My turf looks flat and worn. Is it finished?
Often not. Matting in high-traffic areas usually responds to power brooming with fresh infill, which stands the fibres back up.
