What is SmartGrass?
One of the hottest trends in landscaping, SmartGrass is a new type of artificial grass that is realistic, durable and environmentally friendly.
It’s engineered to look and feel more real than other artificial turf, astro turf and fake grass products: the synthetic grass revolutionising lawn maintenance for New Zealand homeowners, schools, clubs and commercial sites.
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 an ordinary 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.

Derek Hughes -
“Thanks to Smart Grass, we couldn’t be happier and are wondering why we didn’t think of it a long time ago. The product is so realistic that it is only on closer inspection that you might realise that the grass is actually artificial.”
Roger & Joce Atkinson -
“Great service and love our new lawn! Low maintenance and looks beautiful – friendly and helpful 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.
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.
