Premium Artificial Grass in New Plymouth
At Urban Turf Solutions, we help Taranaki locals skip the mowing and the mud. We are a leading supplier of artificial grass all across NZ, providing high-performance synthetic surfaces designed to look lush and green 365 days a year, regardless of the Taranaki weather.
Whether you are looking out over the coast in Strandon or tucked away in the leafy streets of Welbourn, we provide a permanent solution for your backyard. We are a vertically integrated manufacturer, which means we design and make our own turf to ensure it can handle the high UV levels and heavy rainfall we get under the mountain. You are getting a lawn that stays perfectly manicured without the need for fertilisers, irrigation, or a lawnmower.
Expert Turf Services in Taranaki
We believe that providing the best artificial grass involves more than just dropping off a roll of turf. It is about a complete, professional service that ensures your investment adds genuine value to your home for years to come.
Professional Installation Through Our Local Network
The secret to a successful fake lawn in New Plymouth is the base work. Our region’s heavy soils can lead to major drainage issues if you don’t know what you are doing. We work with a dedicated network of local installers who understand the Taranaki landscape. They handle the full excavation and install a solid 100 mm compacted aggregate base. This ensures your lawn has superior vertical drainage, so even after a classic West Coast downpour, your lawn is dry and usable within minutes.
Repairs and Maintenance
While our artificial surfaces are incredibly low-maintenance, we are always here if you need maintenance. If you need a professional groom to lift the pile after a busy summer or a minor repair following some landscaping changes, our team is just a call away. We also offer infill top-ups to ensure your grass stays protected and looking natural.
Residential Solutions for Your Backyard
In New Plymouth, our outdoor lifestyle is everything. However, many backyards here struggle with shade from established trees or steep banks that are a nightmare to mow. Our residential artificial grass range, including Urban Prestige, is designed to thrive where the real stuff fails. It features a 40 mm pile and a multi-tone green that mimics the look of a healthy Kiwi lawn, providing a soft, safe area for the family to enjoy.
Dog-Friendly and Mud-Free Living
If you have dogs, you know the struggle of the “winter mud” in Taranaki. Our pet-friendly synthetic turf is a game changer. The backing is designed to allow liquid to pass through at over 50 litres per minute. This means no puddles, no smells, and no more muddy paws being tracked onto your clean carpet. It is tough enough to handle active dogs and stays green no matter how many times they use it as a bathroom.
Commercial, School, and Sports Turf
We are a major partner for schools, gyms, and businesses across the region, providing heavy-duty solutions that are built to last.
Schools and Daycares
We help local schools turn muddy or dusty patches into safe, all-weather play zones. Our “Urban Play” range is durable enough for hundreds of kids and meets strict NZ safety standards for fall heights.
Gyms and Fitness Centres
We provide high-density synthetic turf for sled tracks and functional training areas in New Plymouth fitness studios.
Sports Facilities
From backyard putting greens that roll as true as the greens at Ngamotu to professional-grade tennis courts, we have a product for every sport.
Commercial Landscaping
We work with property managers to provide low-maintenance greenery for office courtyards, retail fronts, and cafe beer gardens along the Coastal Walkway.

Common Questions
What is the cost of artificial grass in New Plymouth?
The cost depends on the size of the area and the specific product you choose. Generally, a professional installation including all the groundwork and base prep ranges from $105 to $215 per square metre. While the upfront price is higher than real grass, you save thousands in the long run on water, petrol, and fertilisers.
Is it safe for children?
Absolutely. Our products are non-toxic, lead-free, and very soft. It is actually a cleaner environment for kids as there is no pollen to trigger allergies and no need for chemical weed killers.
How does it handle the Taranaki rain?
Very well. Because of our specialised backing and the aggregate base our installers use, the water drains straight through much faster than it would on a traditional soil lawn. You won’t have to deal with surface ponding.
Does it get hot in summer?
Like any outdoor surface, it can warm up in direct midday sun. However, a quick 30-second spray with the garden hose will cool it down instantly for bare feet.
