Is it easy to relocate artificial grass?

If I get turf in my backyard and decide I want to move it to my front yard later on, would it be possible? Is it as simple as uninstalling and reinstalling it?

It is not difficult to move an installed artificial grass from one spot to another, as long as you are aware of how the original installation was done: with nails along the edges and infills, and other details. Relocating artificial grass is very similar as removing and reinstalling carpet. If your original installation was done normally, the following steps will be my suggestions on how to relocate your artificial grass:

1. Make sure to measure the area where you would like to move the artificial grass to and your current artificial grass size: by doing so, you will know if your current artificial grass piece will be enough to cover your new area.

2. Once determined that you will have enough artificial grass, you will need prepare the sub base for the new area, you can find detailed how to information from this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/installation-guides

3. Start removing your existing turf, this task can be a bit tricky. It won’t be too bad if you know how your original artificial grass was installed: you might need to remove the nails along the edges, remove any other items that securing the turf in place. If you have infills on the turf, and the piece are not too heavy to handle/move, you can leave the infills inside the turf, otherwise, you will need to flip the turf over so to dump the infills on the ground and save it for later.

4. Cut and install the artificial grass onto the new area, again, you can refer to the installation guide link for details: https://www.globalsynturf.com/installation-guides
