To answer some question on removal of artificial grass which has been
fixed to concrete. The usual method on large areas is to use an
automated floor surface removal tool that is available from some tool
hire shops but can be difficult to find or be very expensive, the
method we use on small areas is to sharpen the edge of a spade and
scrape this along the floor removing the grass. If the artificial
grass is thin this should lift easily and you will find the black
latex backing will stay on the floor but the grass will lift, this
residue can be removed by going over the area a few times with the
spade. Note: if the grass is sand filled this may require more effort
and when you have lifted some cut it off from the back of the grass.

Thanks for the suggestion, but when I need to remove artificial grass
I always hire a bunch of artificial migrant workers, provide them with
artificial sod cutters and turn them loose. Of course, being the
benevolent employer that I am, I also provide an artificial lunch and
pay them with artificial cash.


BTW, "artificial" means that one or more people did it. It has nothing
to do with real or not.
