Artificial Grass

Nelson/Tasman

A pristine, green lawn without the weekend workload.

Lawns can be hard work. Your backyard should be a place to unwind, not a second job. If you are dealing with endless mowing, patchy weeds, muddy winter pools, or grass that dies off completely over the summer, artificial turf is a highly practical solution. We install premium, natural looking synthetic grass that gives you your weekends back and keeps your outdoor area looking exceptional all year round.

Artificial turf is an ideal option for low maintenance living, small courtyard areas, rental properties, high traffic pet zones, and under trampolines. Because not every section suits natural turf, it is a sensible choice where sun is limited, foot traffic is high, or water access is an issue.

Backed by Nick Thomsen’s building and landscaping qualifications, we focus heavily on the excavation, base preparation, and drainage. This critical groundwork ensures your artificial grass remains level, free draining, and perfectly usable for the long term, no matter the weather. We work with a range of products to deliver the right match for your property and your investment.

FAQs

What synthetic turf options do you supply and install?

1

We offer options tailored to every budget and performance requirement:

Premium Landscape Ranges: We install turf from leading New Zealand specialists including Lifestyle Lawns and SmartGrass. These ranges offer various pile lengths (25mm to 40mm+), multi-tonal green and tan thatch fibres, advanced UV stabilisation, high-density construction, and specialised drainage backings engineered specifically for New Zealand conditions. Best of all, they back their turf with 10-year UV warranties so it won't fade, dry out, or turn brittle in harsh Kiwi sun.
Entry-Level / Budget Options: For low-traffic areas, utility storage/side of the house, or small decorative spaces, we can source and install budget turf options likeTuff Turf from Bunnings orSmartGreen turf from Mitre 10.

Is artificial turf pet and family friendly?

2

Yes, absolutely. All the premium turfs are non-toxic, lead-free, and safe for children and pets.

For pet owners, we recommend getting the pet-friendly artificial grass with anti-bacterial infill.

Easy Cleanup: Solids can be picked up normally, and liquids drain directly through the permeable backing. A quick hose down keeps it fresh.
No Mud or Digging: Dogs cannot dig through the tough double-woven backing, putting an end to muddy paws in the house.

What maintenance is required for a synthetic lawn?

3

Artificial grass drastically reduces upkeep, but it isn't completely maintenance-free:

Occasional Brushing: Cross-brushing against the pile with a stiff broom keeps the blades standing upright in high-traffic zones.
Debris Removal: Clear leaves and organic matter using a broom or leaf blower to prevent weeds from taking root in top-blown dust.
Rinsing & Sanitizing: Hose down pet areas periodically and apply an eco-friendly moss/sanitiser treatment once a year in heavily shaded spots.

Do you install artificial turf for sports, putting greens, and pool surrounds?

4

Yes, we do! We install custom backyard putting greens—complete with cups, fringe borders, and true ball-roll. Check out our dedicated Putting Green Page. Beyond golf, we can lay durable surfaces for home cricket pitches, tennis, and play zones, as well as slip-resistant, mud-free turf around pools.
