You can easily remove the infill yourself using a car or truck, a boxcutter, and some rope!
- Cut a small incision near the edge of your turf roll, just wide enough to fit a rope through.
- Tie both ends of the rope to a trailer hitch or the bumper of a car or truck.
- Drive slowly forward until your turf is unrolled and the infill falls out.
- Use a box cutter to cut the turf into 20 foot sections.
- Grab a corner and shake out the remaining infill from each section.
- 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.
- Use the forklift to lift a section of your turf roll about four feet or so off the ground.
- Use a broom to lightly hit the turf and shake the infill out.
- Lower the turf back to the ground.
- 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.
