Unlike ordinary grass, which can become a mud puddle during wet weather or dry out and crack in summer, or slippery concrete which retains surface water and moss, SmartGrass is installed with drainage and durability as key factors.
SmartGrass for Sports
Artificial Grass for Tennis Courts
A true, consistent bounce with none of the cracking, fading or resurfacing real courts demand. SmartGrass keeps your court playable all year round, whatever New Zealand's weather throws at it.
Artificial Tennis Turf Designed for Precision and Playability
Your club’s next grand slam contender could sharpen their skills on a SmartGrass court, built for the consistency and reliability that serious players demand. As one of New Zealand’s leading artificial grass for tennis solutions, SmartGrass delivers dependable performance match after match.
Unlike natural grass courts, there’s no battling weather damage, bare patches or seasonal downtime. You get a surface that stays true and playable all year round. Artificial grass also offers advantages over hard concrete courts, providing improved comfort underfoot, reduced surface heat in summer, and a more forgiving playing experience without compromising performance.
It doesn’t matter if you’re resurfacing school courts or developing high-performance facilities for your club, SmartGrass provides the ideal balance of speed, traction and durability to support confident movement and competitive play at every level.

Consistent Ball Bounce and Reliable Court Speed
Tennis is all about precision, timing and repetition. When a court is uneven or worn, it disrupts rhythm and makes it harder for players to develop their skills with confidence.
SmartGrass addresses these issues by delivering a stable, durable surface specifically designed to maximise ball travel and speed. Instead of adjusting for cracks or patchy areas, players can focus on refining technique and repeating shots under predictable conditions.
For schools and clubs with frequent, high-intensity play, that consistency makes a real difference. Speak with our team to explore how a SmartGrass artificial grass tennis court upgrade can elevate performance and maximise court use year-round.
Durable, All-Weather Tennis Turf for Year-Round Play
Picture your court on a wet Saturday morning. With grass, slippery concrete or lower-grade turf, that’s often the end of it; a cancelled game, a frustrated group of players, and another weekend written off waiting for the surface to recover.
With SmartGrass, that Saturday looks completely different. Every installation starts with a carefully levelled and compacted base for long-term stability, with drainage systems built in to prevent pooling and keep the surface safe underfoot even after heavy rain. The turf fibres are engineered for natural grip and superior traction in wet conditions, so your artificial grass tennis court stays open and playable when ordinary grass simply can’t.
Whether it’s a midwinter club session, an after-school training run, or a Sunday morning hit in the backyard, the court is ready when you are.
All SmartGrass Sports Turf is accredited by World Sport Governing Bodies

Hockey Turf Range
Our tennis turf range is engineered for courts across New Zealand, with options tailored to different styles of play. Power 15 is a traditional sand-filled tennis court surface, delivering a medium-fast playing surface. Active 12 offers a faster pace suited to dynamic games, as well as multi-sport use including tennis, cricket, or even croquet. Our championship 18 is also widely used for tennis courts where player comfort, ball-to-surface interaction, and slower paced gameplay is key.
What sets Active 12 and Championship 18 apart is their texturised monofilament (TMF) construction. The denser fibre structure requires less sand infill, meaning players are performing directly on turf rather than a sand-heavy base. The result is a more vibrant, striking colour that holds its appearance longer, and a surface that naturally resists moss growth over time. Whether you’re building a court for a club, a school, or your own backyard, Active 12 and Championship 18 are approved by both the International Tennis Federation and the International Hockey Federation. So whatever your plans, it’s built to meet the standard!
