When does artificial turf infill need to be replaced?
Infill needs topping up when fibers lie flat with too little sand beneath them, when the surface feels hard or drains slowly from compaction, or when pet zones still smell after treatment because the infill is saturated. TIMELESS Turf Restoration measures and redistributes infill in every Premium Restoration, and tops up or replaces it across the Grand Strand, from $0.35 per square foot.
Every visit includes
- Infill depth measured
- Redistribution by power brush and drag
- Top-up with silica or coated infill
- Pet-zone extraction and replacement
- Odor-control infill option
How to tell your infill is the problem
- Fibers won't stand up even right after brushing
- Surface feels hard or crunchy, water sits after rain
- Pet zones still smell after treatment
- Turf looks lumpy — infill has migrated
Redistribute $0.35–$0.65 / sq ft · new infill installed $0.75–$1.50 / sq ft
Redistribute, top up, or replace
Infill has moved; brush and drag level it back out.
Depth has dropped; fresh infill is spread and leveled.
Old infill is saturated or crusted; it's extracted and swapped.
Infill for dog yards
Pet zones get an odor-control infill instead of plain sand — zeolite-type or coated sand holds ammonia and resists the bacteria that cause the smell. We often replace just the pet zone and top up the rest.
What it costs
Redistribution runs $0.35–$0.65/sq ft and rides along with power brushing in a Premium Restoration. New infill installed runs $0.75–$1.50/sq ft.
