Demolition is the first step in the installation process. In some instances there is a pre-step to demolition which would be to apply an herbicide to the area where the turf will be installed to kill off any weeds or grass.
During the demolition, we remove approximate 3.5 to 4 inches of existing earth to make room for the road base that will be imported. In some cases we may be raising the level of the grade and will not excavate or export soil (i.e. when making hills or if the natural grade is already low). In this case we will still remove existing vegetation and then will raise the grade with class II road base or decomposed granite.
