Removing Infill With A Truck

You can easily remove the infill yourself using a car or truck, a boxcutter, and some rope!

  1. Cut a small incision near the edge of your turf roll, just wide enough to fit a rope through. 
  2. Tie both ends of the rope to a trailer hitch or the bumper of a car or truck.
  3. Drive slowly forward until your turf is unrolled and the infill falls out.
  4. Use a box cutter to cut the turf into 20 foot sections.
  5. Grab a corner and shake out the remaining infill from each section.
  6. Collect infill if you wish to reuse it.

Removing Infill With A Forklift

Or if you have access to a forklift, you can also use that to remove infill.

  1. Use the forklift to lift a section of your turf roll about four feet or so off the ground.
  2. Use a broom to lightly hit the turf and shake the infill out.
  3. Lower the turf back to the ground.
  4. Repeat this process for the entire roll.

Note: This process is only recommended if you’re skilled in the operation of a forklift. Do not attempt if you are not able to comfortably operate a forklift. 

Re-Adding the Infill

After you remove the infill, you can scoop into a bin using a broom and pan. Then, after you’ve installed your turf, use a drop spreader to evenly distribute the infill. 

Brush the infill in using a stiff bristled brush to get it standing straight.
