Premium Artificial Grass in Wellington
If you live in the capital, you know that keeping a decent lawn is a bit of a battle against the elements. Between the legendary Wellington wind that dries out the soil and the steep, shaded sections where the sun rarely reaches the grass, maintaining a tidy backyard can feel like a losing game. At Urban Turf Solutions, we help Wellingtonians reclaim their outdoor spaces with high-performance artificial grass that stays green and lush regardless of how hard the southerly is blowing.
We are a vertically integrated manufacturer with generations of experience, meaning we don’t just sell turf; we actually design and make it. This is a massive advantage for Wellington homes because we engineer our synthetic fibres to handle the unique UV levels and climatic shifts we face here in the lower North Island. From the hilly streets of Khandallah to the coastal sections of Titahi Bay, we provide a permanent solution for anyone who is ready to ditch the lawnmower and enjoy an evergreen, mud-free space.
Expert Turf Services for the Windy City
We believe that being a top supplier of artificial grass means providing a total service that takes the stress out of landscaping. We don’t just drop off a roll of turf and leave you to it; we ensure every job is engineered to handle Wellington’s tricky geography.
Professional Installation Through Our Local Network
The secret to a great fake lawn in Wellington is the engineering underneath. Our region is famous for its rocky ground and steep slopes, which can make drainage and levelling a real challenge. We work with a highly trained network of local installers who know exactly how to prep a Wellington site. They handle the full excavation and install a solid $100\text{mm}$ compacted aggregate base, ensuring your lawn stays dead level and drains perfectly even during a classic capital downpour. This professional installation prevents the sinking and pooling that often ruins DIY attempts.
Repairs and Maintenance
While our artificial surfaces are built to be incredibly low-maintenance, we are always around if you need a hand down the track. If you have had some heavy construction work done or a section of your lawn has been disturbed for utility repairs, our team can help with professional fixes. We also offer a grooming service to lift the pile and top up the silica sand infill, which keeps the blades standing tall and looking natural for years to come.
Residential Solutions for Your Backyard
In a city where space is at a premium and sections are often vertical, your outdoor area is incredibly valuable. Many Wellington homes have small courtyards or shaded patches where natural grass simply refuses to grow. Our residential artificial grass range is designed to thrive in these exact conditions. Our popular Urban Prestige line features a realistic $40\text{mm}$ pile that looks so much like a perfectly manicured lawn your neighbours won’t know the difference.
Dog-Friendly and Mud-Free Living
If you have dogs, you know the struggle of “muddy paw” season in the capital. One week of rain and your lawn is a write-off, and your carpets are a mess. Our pet-friendly synthetic turf is the ultimate solution. The backing is designed to allow liquid to pass through at over $50\text{ litres}$ per minute, meaning no puddles, no smells, and no more mud being tracked inside. It is tough enough to handle active dogs and stays green regardless of how many times they use it as a bathroom.
Commercial, School, and Sports Turf
We are a leading provider of high-durability surfaces for schools, businesses, and sports clubs throughout the Wellington region.
Schools and Daycares
We help local schools turn damp or dusty patches into safe, all-weather play zones. Our “Urban Play” range is built to handle thousands of kids running on it every day and meets strict NZ safety standards for fall heights.
Gyms and Fitness Centres
We provide high-density sled tracks and flooring for Wellington gyms that need a surface that won’t tear or bunch up under heavy weights.
Sports Facilities
From backyard putting greens that roll as true as the greens at Royal Wellington to professional-grade tennis courts and cricket wickets, we have a specialised product for every sport.
Commercial Landscaping
We work with property managers to provide low-maintenance greenery for office courtyards, retail storefronts, and cafe beer gardens that need to look sharp 24/7.

Everything You Need to Know
What is the cost of artificial grass in Wellington?
The cost depends on the size of the area and the complexity of the site, especially if there is a lot of contour to manage. Generally, a professional installation including all the groundwork and base prep ranges from $\$110$ to $\$220$ per square metre. While the upfront price is higher than real grass, you save thousands in the long run on water, lawnmower maintenance, and fertilisers.
Is it safe for my kids?
Absolutely. Our products are non-toxic, lead-free, and very soft to the touch. It is actually a cleaner environment for kids as there is no pollen to trigger allergies and no need for chemical weed killers or pesticides.
How does it handle the Wellington wind and rain?
Very well. Because of our specialised backing and the heavy aggregate base our installers use, the turf is weighted down and the water drains straight through much faster than it would on a traditional soil lawn. You won’t have to deal with surface ponding or “squelchy” patches after a storm.
Can I install it myself?
You can certainly buy the turf from us for a DIY project, but we generally recommend using our professional installers. Getting the joins invisible and the base perfectly compacted on a Wellington site is a real skill.
