Clear the old lawn properly before the next stage begins.

Commercial & Residential Turf Removal Services in Sydney

Removing an old lawn is more than cutting the grass short. The turf and root layer need to be cleared at the right depth, with access, levels and the next stage of the project considered from the start.

All Year Round Turf offers existing-lawn removal for customers purchasing replacement turf from us. We can discuss removal and ground preparation alongside your turf order, with professional installation available if required.

When Should You Remove an Old Lawn?

Starting again is often the best option when the existing lawn is failing or you’re replacing it with a different AYRT turf variety.

Patchy or failed lawn

Old turf, weeds and the existing root mat may need to be cleared before the lawn can be rebuilt properly.

Complete lawn replacement

Removal creates a clear base before soil improvement, levelling and installation of fresh natural turf.

Choosing a different turf variety

Clear the existing lawn before replacing it with turf better suited to your property.

Commercial lawn replacement

Turf removal is quoted alongside your purchase of replacement turf from All Year Round Turf. We do not provide removal-only quotes.

Site measurements, access, slopes, edging and nearby surfaces
Cutting and lifting the natural turf and root layer
Soil excavation or level adjustment where required
Clearing loose material ready for the next stage
Turf, soil and green-waste removal where included in the quote

Any soil excavation, waste disposal and final level requirements will be itemised in your written quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does turf removal cost in Sydney?

Turf removal costs vary with the size of the area, site access, slope, root depth, soil removal, waste disposal and the final level required. Send us your suburb, approximate measurements and clear photos for an initial assessment and a site-specific quote.

Can you remove an old lawn before installing new turf?

Yes. We can remove the old lawn, prepare and level the ground, and install your new turf as one complete service. Keeping the work together helps ensure the base is prepared correctly for the selected turf variety.

Can I book turf removal as a standalone service?

No. Our turf removal service is available only when you purchase your replacement turf from All Year Round Turf. Contact us to discuss removal alongside your turf order.

How deep do you remove the old lawn?

The removal depth depends on the turf, root layer, current ground levels and what will replace the lawn. We remove the material needed to reach the agreed level without excavating more of the site than the project requires.

Can you remove soil as well as turf?

Yes. Soil excavation and level adjustment can be included when the project requires additional depth or a different finished level. The amount of soil to be removed will be clearly listed in your quote.

What happens to the removed turf and green waste?

Your quote will explain how the removed turf, soil and green waste will be handled and whether off-site disposal is included. The disposal method and cost depend on the material volume, access and project location.

Do you remove artificial or synthetic turf?

Our standard turf removal service is designed for natural lawns and is available with a purchase of replacement turf from All Year Round Turf. Synthetic turf can include infill, fixings, adhesives and a constructed base, so it is outside the standard natural-lawn removal scope.

What information do you need for a turf removal quote?

If you’re purchasing new turf from us and need your old lawn removed, send your suburb, approximate area, photos and access details. We’ll discuss the removal requirements and whether you also need ground preparation or installation. You can include any details of slopes, steps or restricted access in the contact form.
