We wanted smartgrass on a small sloped area to the back of our garden that always looked untidy. The important thing to us was that the grass followed the natural slope. Andrew and Richard installed the smartgrass and did a fantastic job. We are very pleased with the result. They were also very easy and reactive to work with.

I am very happy with how our new lawn looks now! With a baby in our life I no longer had the time/energy to keep up the maintenance on our lawn but wished my child could play outside in the near future. Getting Smartgrass was the choice for us. Installation went smooth - Richard and Andy were very respectful and thoughtful throughout the process. I was inside with my baby while they worked and they would tell me what they are doing each day and when there’s going to be loud noises. I recommend the retreat40 grass because it’s softer and the green looks great in the sun 🙂

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but I am beyond impressed with my grass installation, that I had to give a shoutout to the SmartGrass Auckland team and share how amazing they have been! The transformation has made such a difference, it has completely elevated the look and feel of my space—admiring the view of a beautiful, lush lawn daily, I actually find myself wanting to go outside and enjoy it now. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. Sophie, who handled the initial meeting and quote, was an absolute pleasure to deal with—especially with all the questions I had. Phil, the Operations Manager, was incredibly accommodating with scheduling, and Annalee in the office was also fantastic—friendly and helpful. And finally, a HUGE thank you to the installers, Troy and Andrew. These guys were exceptional. Not only did they do an amazing job, but they truly went above and beyond my expectations. Professional yet down-to-earth, with great communication throughout. Their workmanship is top-tier, their attention to detail is second to none and they left everything spotless at the end of each day. The finished result is to such a high standard—I couldn’t be happier. I’ve had so many compliments from others in the complex already, and I can say with confidence and without hesitation that this has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my property. I cannot recommend the SmartGrass Auckland team highly enough!

What an incredible team at Smartgrass, super friendly, knowledgeable and really happy to go out of their way to help us finish our project in a short time frame. Sophie and Phil made sure to get the team aligned around our exact needs and both Andrew and Richard who did our install were professional, friendly and worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done earlier than expected. 100% recommended and will be re-engaging for our next project - thank you

Thank you SmartGrass team for my home spruce up project completed to my full satisfaction from start to finish. Love how Cam listened and consulted to capture the vision of the brief. Andrew’s graft built and filled our side yard with pebble work (no more weeding!). Of course Richard’s overview of our site, prep and lawn laying and overall finishing touches to both the side and backyard are first class. Sets up the summer to enjoy our space more than we ever had before. I can lie down on the comfort of my lawn and watch the world turn and night skies. Cheers and Happy Christmas SmartGrass, now this really completes my “homestead”. All the best for your future projects!

What a wonderful team. Sophia was amazing and knowledgeable about the products. Phil kept us updated at every stage and checked on delivery. Connal did a fabulous job on the install. He even “cut” the grass down where there were the odd longer blade. I couldn’t be happier.

How SmartGrass Works

Your existing lawn is dug out and replaced with a layer of free draining compacted rock. SmartGrass is then laid over this permeable base, and dressed with a layer of very fine sand.

The sand that is spread on top of the grass has two jobs:

  1. This sand (called “sand infill”) sits between the grass blades and weighs down the lawn – it also makes it impossible for dogs to dig through, because it locks in place.
  2. It stops any dog poo or debris getting stuck between the blades of grass making it easy to pick up.

SmartGrass is installed on a base of compacted rock – similar to what is underneath pavers. This is free draining (so the dog pee disappears), and because it is strong, the base won’t undulate overtime (unlike a real lawn).

Common questions

What maintenance is required on artificial grass?

There are a few things you need to do to maintain your artificial lawn, depending on what you use your lawn for.

They are:

  1. Removing leaves and debris regularly with a broom or leaf blower/vac
  2. Remove the occasional weed that may appear
  3. Use a moss & sanitiser spray yearly in shaded areas
  4. You can learn more about maintenance and book a professional maintenance service here.

How is SmartGrass different to other turf?

SmartGrass Earth Series is 100% recyclable, and three times more durable. This means it lasts longer than any competitors’ products and carries a 10 year warranty.

SmartGrass has a range of turf that has been developed for high end residential homes instead of preschools. This is designed to look more like real grass.

SmartGrass Earth Series drains 5 times faster than other latex backed turf, which is essential in poor draining areas, and when dogs pee on it.

Who will install the grass for me?

Our local SmartGrass franchisee will usually be the one to install your lawn. They are professional turf installers (it’s all they do).

Can you DIY Artificial Grass at Home?

Our team is ready to transform your lawn, but if you’re a keen DIYer we have a handy guide to help you upgrade to SmartGrass. We can supply you with various blade length and grass types options so that you can create the perfect lawn for your home.

How long does artificial grass last?

SmartGrass has a 10 year warranty, however in many applications it will last 15-20 years with regular maintenance. This is the same as our high performance sports turfs, which have up to 40 hours of use a week for 15 years.

How much does SmartGrass cost?

Contact us for a ballpark estimate over the phone or a measure & quote at home.

Artificial grass itself is priced per square metre (typically between $45-80/m2 +gst depending on the type), however the cost of the installation depends on a few factors.

A professional installation that is 30-100m2 in size typically costs (for the supply and installation of the grass):

  • $120-180/m2 for direct installation to a prepared base, concrete, patios, decks and balconies.
  • $180-$380/m2 for converting an existing lawn (i.e. the full excavation, base construction, supply and installation of artificial grass).

Small areas (under 30m2) tend to cost approx. $300-$450/m2. Areas over 100m2 will benefit from scale of economies.

For comparison, SmartGrass does cost significantly more than a real lawn up front, but saves you thousands in maintenance costs long term. Per square metre, fully installed, SmartGrass is a similar cost to paving /outdoor tiles. SmartGrass is about half the cost of Kwila decking. A lot of the investment is associated with removing the exisiting lawn and then preparing a base for the SmartGrass – this ensures your lawn will properly drain and still look perfect for years to come.

The above figures are ballparks only. When we visit you we will assess your requirements and provide you a bespoke proposal which includes pricing for your custom solution. There are 23 factors that we consider to determine the cost of your installation which include things like the product you choose, your location, shape of the area, technicality of the install, access to site and the base preparation requirements. Areas that have difficult access (such as staircases) often cost more because of the earthmoving component. 

Can you install Artificial Grass on Concrete?

SmartGrass can easily be installed over concreted areas with the right preparation, and the result will be just as impressive as if you were replacing an existing lawn. Transforming concrete areas into a beautiful lawn is a great way to add new life to your home.
