Premium Artificial Grass in Whanganui
If you are looking for a way to keep your lawn looking sharp without spending every spare hour on the mower, you have landed in the right spot. Urban Turf Solutions is proud to support the Whanganui community with the highest quality artificial grass available in New Zealand. From the historic villas on Durie Hill to the newer builds out in Otamatea, we help locals transform tired, patchy lawns into vibrant, evergreen spaces that stay perfect all year round.
Living in Whanganui means we get a fair bit of variety with our weather. One day it is sunny, and the next, it’s the middle of winter. This often leaves Whanganui backyards either baked dry or turned into a muddy mess that the kids and dogs trail right through the house. We provide a permanent solution to those headaches. Our synthetic grass surfaces are designed to handle the local climate, ensuring you have a usable outdoor area no matter what the clouds are doing.
Our Professional Turf Services
We believe that being a top supplier of artificial grass means more than just shipping out rolls of green carpet. We are a vertically integrated business, which is a fancy way of saying we handle the manufacturing process ourselves. This allows us to ensure that the product arriving at your gate is built to last and meets our high quality standards.
Professional Installation via Our Local Network
The most important part of any fake lawn is what you don’t see. If you just throw some turf over your old grass, it will look like a wrinkled mess within a month. We work with a trusted network of local artificial grass installers right in Whanganui. These guys are experts at the groundwork. They handle the excavation, the base of compacted aggregate, and the fine levelling required for a smooth finish. This ensures your new lawn drains perfectly and stays level for the next twenty years.
Repairs and Maintenance
While our turf is incredibly tough, sometimes life happens. Maybe you have had some heavy construction gear on the lawn, or a seam has shifted after a decade of use. We offer full repair and maintenance services of artificial grass.
Residential Solutions for Whanganui Backyards
For most of us, the backyard is the heart of the home. It is where the kids play and where we host the weekend barbecue. However, Whanganui’s soil can be a bit temperamental, often leading to drainage issues or grass that struggles to grow under big shade trees.
Our residential range, including the premium Urban Prestige, is engineered to mimic the look and feel of a healthy Kiwi lawn. With a 40mm pile height and a mix of natural green tones, it is hard to tell it isn’t the real thing. It provides a soft, cushioned surface that is much kinder on the knees than hard, dry ground.
Pet-Friendly and Mud-Free Living
We get a lot of calls from dog owners who are tired of their backyard looking like a muddy mess after a week of rain. Our pet-friendly artificial grass is a game changer for dogs. The backing is designed with high-flow drainage, so liquid passes straight through into the aggregate base below. This stops smells from building up and means your dogs can go outside for a run without bringing half the garden back inside on their paws.
Commercial and Institutional Turf
Beyond the home, we provide heavy-duty solutions for businesses and public spaces across Whanganui.
Schools and Daycares
We have helped many local schools turn “out of bounds” muddy patches into all-weather play zones. Our school range is built to withstand thousands of little feet every day and meets strict safety standards for impact.
Gyms and Sports Facilities
If you are setting up a fitness studio in the CBD or need a durable sled track, our high-density synthetic turf is the gold standard.
Council and Public Spaces
We work with property managers to provide low-maintenance greenery for median strips, roundabouts, and shop fronts where traditional mowing is dangerous or difficult.
Golf and Bowls
We can install professional-grade putting greens in your backyard or at local clubs, giving you a true-roll surface that stays consistent through every season.
Why Urban Turf Solutions is the Best Choice
When you are looking for the best artificial grass, you want to know you are dealing with people who actually know how the product is made.
Manufacturer Direct
Because we manufacture our own products, we cut out the middleman. This means you get a premium, high-density artificial grass at a much more competitive price than imported alternatives.
UV Protection
The New Zealand sun is famously harsh. We engineer our polymers with specific UV stabilisers to prevent the fibres from becoming brittle or fading over time.
Massive Range
We don’t just have one or two options. We have over 40 varieties, so we can find the perfect match for your specific project and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does artificial grass last?
Yes, absolutely. All our products are non-toxic and lead-free. It actually provides a cleaner environment for kids as there is no pollen to trigger allergies and no need for chemical fertilisers or weed killers.
How do I clean artificial grass?
For the most part, the rain does the job for you. If you have pets, you can simply hose off any solid waste. For leaves and debris, a quick go-over with a plastic rake or a leaf blower is all it takes to keep it looking tidy.
Will the water sit on top of the fake lawn?
Not if it is installed correctly. Our turf drains at a rate of over 50 litres per minute per square metre. Combined with the base our installers put in, the water disappears much faster than it would on a traditional soil lawn.
How hot does artificial grass get in summer?
On those scorching Whanganui summer days, any surface in the sun will warm up. However, our turf is designed to dissipate heat efficiently. If it feels a bit warm for bare feet, a quick 30-second spray with the garden hose will cool it down instantly.
