Artificial grass is becoming the go-to choice for outdoor playground turf, offering a safe, low-maintenance, and durable surface for children’s play areas. Unlike natural grass, which gets muddy and patchy, artificial grass playgrounds provide a consistent and inviting space all year round. Whether for schools, daycare centres, or backyard play zones, GrassPro’s playground artificial turf installation ensures a soft, cushioned surface that keeps kids safe while they play.

At GrassPro, safety comes first. Our artificial grass playgrounds meet all New Zealand health and safety regulations, including Critical Fall Height requirements.

FAQ
What does artificial grass cost?
There is no easy answer to this. The biggest cost of an artificial grass installation is the preparation of the sub-surface. This usually involves the removal of the existing turf and topsoil, and installation of a compacted base course to provide a flat and stable surface for the grass to be laid on. Often some sort of retaining is required to stop the sub-surface from subsiding. As you can imagine this is labour intensive. Every site is different but our specialists can talk you through what is required for your unique situation, which will dictate the overall cost.
Does the artificial grass come with a warranty?
Yes, our grasses come with a 7-year manufacturer warranty, subject to correct maintenance procedures! It is essential that annual maintenance is done to ensure the grass is kept in tip top condition.
Will the artificial grass have joins?
This depends on the size and shape of your site. The rolls of grass come in 2m and 4m wide widths. Any joins are made to be as unobtrusive as possible.
What happens where the artificial grass meets a pathway or garden?
Each job is different, but often a timber border is installed along pathways to attach the grass, and long staples are used to anchor the grass along gardens, etc. Your GrassPro specialist will talk you through exactly how the fake grass will be installed.
Is artificial grass children and pet friendly?
Absolutely. Our artificial grasses contain no nasty chemicals or heavy metals. It is important to ensure that any pet droppings are picked up on a regular basis, and regular hosing down of the areas that business is done to minimise any lingering odours.
Will GrassPro do all the site preparation?
If that is what you want. Your GrassPro specialist will talk you through the requirements and the cost associated with preparing the area and you can decide whether GrassPro does the entire job, or whether you can do some of the prep work yourself to save some costs.
Will weeds grow in my artificial grass?
Weeds are not able to grow through artificial lawns, due to the fact that all organic matter is removed from the surface and a geotextile membrane installed before the grass is laid. However, it is common for wind-blown and bird-dropped seeds to land on the synthetic grass which may then sprout in the infill sand. These weeds are easily plucked out as they are just sitting on the surface. Weed sprays can be used to control this.
