Premium Artificial Grass in Northland
If you are living in Northland, you know we get some of the most beautiful, warm weather in the country. However, that subtropical climate brings a unique set of challenges for a standard lawn. Between the heavy, tropical downpours that turn the ground into a sticky clay mess and the long, baking summer droughts that scorch real grass to a crisp, maintaining a tidy backyard is a massive chore. At Urban Turf Solutions, we help locals enjoy a perfect lawn 365 days a year without the constant mowing, weeding, and mud.
We are a leading supplier of artificial grass, offering high-performance synthetic surfaces that look incredible regardless of the season. We are a Kiwi-owned, vertically integrated manufacturer, which means we design and make our own turf to ensure it stands up to Northland UV levels and heavy rain. From properties in the Bay of Islands to driving ranges in Kerikeri, we provide a permanent solution for anyone who is ready to upgrade their facility or reclaim their weekends and look after their property with zero lifestyle stress.
Our Expert Turf Services in the Northland Region
We believe that providing the best artificial grass means backing it up with a reliable, straightforward service. We handle everything from the initial site check through to the final grooming, making sure your new lawn is built to last.
Professional Installation via Our Local Network
The secret to a flat, flawless fake lawn comes down to the earthworks hidden underneath the surface. Northland has notorious clay soils that expand when wet and crack when dry, which can cause major issues if the ground isn’t prepped correctly. We work closely with a trusted network of local contractors who handle the complete installation process. They take care of the full excavation and lay down a robust compacted base. This precise preparation ensures your grass stays dead level and drains perfectly even after a heavy sub-tropical downpour.
Factory Direct Ordering and Custom Specifications
Because we manufacture our own product lines, you buy your artificial grass in Northland directly from the source. This direct line allows us to supply custom roll lengths to match your specific layout, reducing unnecessary seams and minimising material waste on large lifestyle blocks or tight coastal sections. You get the advantage of dealing with the experts who know the exact UV stabilisers used in the fibres, ensuring your grass can handle the intense northern sun. We also supply the full range of trade consumables to complete the job properly, including specialised joining tape, moisture-resistant adhesives, and the correct grade of silica sand infill.
Residential Solutions for Your Backyard
For most Northlanders, the outdoor lifestyle is everything. You want to spend your downtime hosting family barbecues or relaxing after a day out on the water. However, the biting summer heat often turns real grass into a dusty brown patch, while sandy spots leave you with patchy growth. Our residential artificial grass range is designed to thrive where nature struggles. Our premium lines feature a realistic pile height and a multi-tone green that mimics a healthy native lawn, giving you a beautiful, usable outdoor living area.
Dog-Friendly and Mud-Free Living
If you have dogs, you know that our heavy winter rain quickly turns a Northland yard into a clay mud-pit. Our pet-friendly synthetic turf is an absolute game changer for animal lovers. The specialised backing allows liquid to drain straight through into the aggregate base below at over 50 litres per minute. Artificial grass for dogs stops odors from building up, prevents those annoying yellow patches caused by dog urine, and means your pets can play outside in the middle of winter without tracking mud all over your clean carpets and decks.

Common Questions About Synthetic Turf
What is the cost of artificial grass in Northland?
The overall cost depends on the size of your area and the amount of preparation work required to get the ground ready. Generally, a professional installation including all excavation, aggregate base prep, and fitting ranges from $105 to $215 per square metre. While the upfront price is higher than seed, it saves you thousands over time on water bills, line-trimmers, lawnmower maintenance, and fertilisers.
Is it safe for children and toddlers?
Yes, absolutely. Our turf is entirely non-toxic, lead-free, and very soft to play on. It actually provides a much cleaner environment for kids because it eliminates the grass pollen that triggers seasonal allergies and removes the need for chemical weed killers or pesticides.
How does it handle the intense summer heat?
Like any outdoor surface in direct sun, it will warm up on a hot January afternoon. However, our turf is engineered to dissipate heat efficiently. If it feels a bit warm for bare feet, a quick 30-second spray with the garden hose will instantly cool the surface down.
Does it drain effectively after heavy rain?
Yes, it drains much faster than a standard soil lawn. The perforated backing lets rainwater pass through instantly into the aggregate base underneath, meaning you will not have to deal with surface puddles or boggy patches after a downpour.
