Premium Artificial Grass in Christchurch
If you are a Christchurch local, you know exactly how tough the Canterbury climate can be on a lawn. Between the biting frosts in the middle of winter and the scorching nor’westers that dry everything to a crisp in summer, keeping a backyard looking green is a constant battle. At Urban Turf Solutions, we help you skip the hard mahi and enjoy a perfect lawn 365 days a year. We are the leading supplier of artificial grass in the region, offering high-performance synthetic solutions that are built to handle our local conditions.
We have a local showroom right here in Christchurch where you can come in, grab a coffee, and actually feel the quality of our products for yourself. We aren’t just selling a generic product from a catalogue. We are a vertically integrated manufacturer, meaning we design and make our own turf to ensure it meets the highest standards. From new builds in Rolleston to classic villas in Merivale, we provide the best artificial grass for anyone who is ready to reclaim their weekends and ditch the lawnmower for good.

Our Expert Turf Services in Canterbury
We pride ourselves on being more than just a shop. We offer a full range of services to ensure your investment looks incredible from the day it is laid and stays that way for a decade or more.
Professional Installation Through Local Installers
The secret to a great fake lawn isn’t just the grass itself; it is the civil engineering that goes on underneath. Christchurch has a mix of soil types, from the sandy ground near the coast to the heavier soils further inland. We work with a dedicated network of professional installers who understand these local conditions. They handle the full excavation and install a solid compacted base to ensure perfect drainage and a dead-level finish. This prevents the “rippling” or sinking that you often see with cheaper or DIY jobs.
Repairs and Maintenance
Our artificial surfaces are incredibly durable, but every now and then they might need a bit of a tune-up. If you have had some heavy landscaping work done or a section of your lawn has been disturbed, our team can help with professional repairs. We also offer a grooming service where we use specialised power brushes to lift the fibres and top up the silica sand infill, making your lawn look brand new again.
Residential Solutions for Your Christchurch Backyard
For many Christchurch families, the backyard is the place where kids play and the dog runs wild. However, between the winter mud and the summer drought, it is often a patch of dust or a swamp. Our residential artificial grass range, including the popular Urban Prestige, is designed to give you the best of both worlds. It looks exactly like a well-maintained natural lawn but requires zero water and zero petrol.
Dog-Friendly and Mud-Free Living
If you have dogs, you know the struggle of the “Canterbury Mud.” One week of rain and your lawn is a write-off. Our pet-friendly synthetic turf is a game changer. The backing is designed to allow liquid to drain away instantly at over 50 litres per minute. This means no puddles, no smells, and most importantly, no more muddy paws being tracked onto your clean carpet or tiles. It is tough enough to handle “diggers” and stays green no matter how many times the dog uses it as a bathroom.
Commercial, School, and Sports Turf
We don’t just do homes. We are a major partner for schools, gyms, and businesses across the South Island.
Schools and ECE Centres
We have helped many Christchurch schools transform dusty play areas into safe, all-weather zones. Our “Urban Play” turf is designed for high-impact use and meets all the required safety standards for fall heights.
Gyms and Fitness Centres
If you are setting up a functional training area or a sled track, we provide high-density synthetic turf that won’t tear or bunch up under heavy loads.
Sports Facilities
From backyard putting greens that roll as true as the greens at Clearwater to professional-grade tennis surfaces, we have a specialised product for every sport.
Commercial Landscaping
We work with property managers to provide low-maintenance greenery for office courtyards, retail entranceways, and restaurant beer gardens.

Everything You Need to Know
What is the cost of artificial grass in Christchurch?
The cost depends on a few factors, mainly the size of the area and the type of product you choose. Generally, a professional installation including all the ground prep ranges from $105 to $210 per square metre. While the upfront investment is higher than real grass, you usually break even within 5 to 10 years by saving on maintenance and water bills.
Is it safe for children?
Absolutely. Our products are non-toxic, lead-free, and very soft to the touch. It is actually a lot cleaner than real grass because you don’t have to deal with pollen, bees in the clover, or chemical fertilisers.
How does it handle the frost and snow?
Our turf is incredibly resilient. It won’t be damaged by the heavy Christchurch frosts or even a dump of snow. The fibres are engineered to stay flexible even in sub-zero temperatures.
How long does it take to install?
A standard residential backyard can usually be transformed in 2 to 3 days. This includes the excavation, the base work, and the precision fitting of the turf itself.
