Earth Series

™

Our most natural-looking turf, with 5x faster drainage.

Why choose SmartGrass artificial turf

Not all artificial grass is the same. Plenty of it looks good on day one. SmartGrass is made and installed to keep looking good for years, which is what sets us apart from classic astro turf and cheap fake grass in NZ.

Compared with a natural lawn

No mowing, watering or weeding.

No fertiliser, no burnt patches or bald spots, no expensive equipment. You can finally throw away the lawn mower, and take lawn care off your mind for good.

Green and usable all year round.

A lawn that looks good and gets used in every season, from summer sun to winter rain, and adds value to your property.

Compared with other artificial grass

Earth Series: truly pet and family friendly.

Our Earth Series drains 5x faster, the only turf like it in New Zealand. Pet urine drains straight through and dogs can't dig holes. It's the ideal artificial grass for dogs and busy families, UV-stabilised to hold its realistic colour.

Installed by our own team, done right.

Artificial grass is an unregulated industry, and most poor results come down to installation. Every SmartGrass installer is part of our in-house team, so your project is never passed on to a subcontractor. Every SmartGrass lawn comes with a 10-year product warranty and a 2-year workmanship warranty. Over 10 years and more than 10,000 projects across New Zealand.

Designed around your landscape.

We're design and landscape-led. We look at your edging, paving and garden as a whole and design a lawn that adds style and value to your property, not just a price per square metre. And our products are 100% recyclable.

Honest pricing, every budget, any size.

Fixed pricing, broken down and explained, with options for turf quality, finance, and DIY or full installation. No job is too big or too small, from a postage-stamp lawn to international-grade sports fields for the likes of FIFA and the Ministry of Education.

Easy to deal with and all quoted and installed to plan. Super happy and recommend to others.
Super impressed with my newly installed smart grass. Expectional customer service from measurement and quote. Jharn's attention to detail impressed .As my property is small I was treated professionally and respectally that they would happily take on any size job. Insulation went seamlessly with excellent communication. Liam's work ethic is to the highest standard with working around neighbors(shared driveway) and clean up after Insulation. I'm so happy with the smart grass its the best investment and my greyhound loves zooming around on it.

My experience dealing with Smart Grass has been fabulous. From my first meeting with Cameron through until the installation was complete, I could not fault any aspect. Communication was regular and always easily accessible. Richard and Jayden were meticulous in their work and such nice guys to have working on my property. Their knowledge of the product and what was involved, was impressive. Most importantly, I am thrilled with the end result and would recommend Smart Grass without hesitation. A very satisfied customer.

We are so pleased that we went with smart grass. The product looks better than we could have ever expected and has changed the aesthetics of our garden completely. The staff were professional and friendly, from consultant Jharn to the installers Dean and Jordy. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the company and product at friends and family Pete and Heather Nielsen

We have just had both our back and front lawns done with Smart Grass. I should qualify that as both these areas were the original paddock as we live rurally. Jharn came out and did the quoting and pricing and made a couple of sensible suggestions on how we could save some money by squaring off the proposed lawn in a couple of places. Very helpful. Glen Liam and Nick completed the work on our back lawn in double quick time as this area is fenced for our dogs so it meant we didn't have to keep them in the barn for too long. It looks amazing and the dogs are really enjoying it. Two weeks later Glen and Liam did our front lawn which looks amazing. The guys worked very consistently and it was completed in 3.5 days. We were as impressed by the level of service as we were by their workmanship. We can't thank you enough and would highly recommend your company, product and people. Many thanks Nicki and Grant

I had a great experience with Smart Grass creating a small functional area for my home gym. From the initial consultation with Cameron through to the installation by Rich and Connal, the whole process was easy. Communication was excellent, the team was professional and thorough, and the installation was completed to a very high standard. I’m really pleased with how the space turned out and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Smart Grass. 🙏🏻

I am thrilled by my new lawn it looks great, where there where muddy puddles is now green and lush looking grass. The sales consultant Jharm was very enthusiastic without being pushy and the installers Nick and Connal did a GREAT job and were very happy to dig up and remove plants from the area.

We met Jharn at a Home Expo and we were very impressed with his knowledge and enthusiasm for the company and product. The team communicated well to manage expectations on installation which allowed us to plan ahead. Glen was accommodating during installation and able to work with us when given a different access option. Glen and Zane kept the site super tidy and put down protection on our deck and driveway to ensure it wasn’t damaged. Overall, everyone we dealt with was wonderful and I would highly recommend SmartGrass.

Last week Liam from Smart Grass installed artificial grass at my house, and I couldn’t be happier. Liam was knowledgeable, friendly and hardworking. An asset to Smart Grass, who are very lucky to have him on their team.

The artificial grass installation experts

Most SmartGrass lawns are installed by our own trained crews, with local teams in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and installs right across New Zealand. We handle the whole job, so every artificial grass and synthetic lawn installation gets the same finish. Artificial grass suits playgrounds and outdoor play areas, edging around decking, sports fields, putting greens and, of course, residential lawns. Synthetic turf is also perfect for tennis courts.

smartgrass installer laying artificial grass New Zealand’s Most Trusted Artificial Grass Specialists

01

Excavation and drainage

We dig out the existing lawn or surface and sort any drainage, so water has somewhere to go.

02

Edging

Edging goes in to hold the turf in place and give a clean line against gardens, paths and paving.

03

Base construction

A compacted, free-draining base is laid and levelled. It’s the part of the job that decides how your artificial lawn performs in ten years.

04

Turf installation

The artificial grass or sports turf is rolled out, joined, secured and trimmed to your edges.

05

Finishing

We brush up the pile, clean down and clear the site, and walk you through looking after your new lawn.

Not every project needs a base. Over patios, concrete or decking, SmartGrass can often be laid straight over the top. Some projects need an extra step, such as an underlay.

DIY OPTION

Can I install artificial grass myself?

Yes. If you can lay pavers or build a deck, you can lay artificial grass, and small areas over concrete can be cut to shape with a Stanley knife. For a professional, trade-quality finish, let our team take care of it. There are three ways to work with us:

  • We do it all. We look after the whole project, end to end.
  • You prep, we lay. You dig out and build the base, and our team lays the turf.
  • Full DIY. Buy the turf and materials and do the whole project yourself.

Whatever you choose, we supply turf cut to your measurements, joining tape, adhesive and fixings, step-by-step guides and a roll plan for your space. Builders, landscapers and architects get trade support too.

We’ll recommend the right product and quantities and give you installation advice for your site.
