Artificial Grass in Auckland

Great question.

Most of the services The ProGroup offer require no formal qualifications, but every franchisee goes through full training in the services they provide. Ongoing experience and a fantastic support network within the group mean that each of our team are true specialists at what they do.

Some of our team also offer services outside of the core ProGroup range, and some of them do require certification or specialist qualifications. In that situation they will have the relevant recognised quals. For example we have LBP builders, plumbers, stonemasons, and gasfitters within the team.

These vary depending on the service.

Typically lower value work requires full payment on completion. Product heavy work may require a deposit at time of quote acceptance, while longer term projects may require an initial deposit and progress payments along the way.

Definitely check with you insurer. You may need to advise them that you have artificial grass so it can be listed specifically on your insurance policy. Often insurance policies have a generic limit on "landscaping", which may not be enough to cover the full cost of replacement (including the labour) in the case of say a flood.

Just like listing specific high value jewelry items on a contents policy, talk to your insurer about artificial grass.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
