Artificial Sports Turf
Turf for Sports Fields
We have created a versatile, durable, and hard-wearing range of synthetic sports turf options, designed specifically for sports turf grass fields such as hockey, soccer, and rugby training pads.
Made from commercial-grade yarns engineered to withstand harsh New Zealand weather and heavy wear, our artificial sports turf range is growing in popularity across the country. School boards, regional councils, and local clubs recognise the immense added value, consistent playability, and enhanced safety that a dedicated artificial grass layout can provide to their facilities. By choosing our high-performance synthetic sports surfaces, you secure a reliable sports turf system that keeps your training schedules moving forward through every single season.
Direct Supply of Heavy-Duty Synthetic Sports Turf Systems
We manufacture and supply commercial-grade artificial sports turf engineered specifically for the harsh New Zealand climate. Our heavy-duty synthetic sports turf range utilises advanced yarn technology to handle the intense foot traffic and continuous wear seen on busy school yards, community grounds, and dedicated artificial sports fields. Whether you need specialised sports field turf for rugby and football drills, or a high-performance multi sports turf layout that lets councils maximise their recreational spaces, our products deliver consistent ball speed and reliable foot traction.
Dealing directly with us means you get NZ’s highest quality turf for sports fields that completely eliminates the mud patches, hidden divots, and weather cancellations common with natural sports fields.

Sports field turf that keeps training moving
Weather cancellations and worn-out grass areas are frustrating—especially when clubs are trying to train consistently. Our sports fields range is designed to be versatile, durable, and hard-wearing, with turf suited to sports like hockey, soccer, and rugby training. We’ll help you choose a system that fits your goals, then install it so it performs reliably in NZ conditions.
Club training pads
A dedicated training surface takes pressure off the main field and keeps sessions consistent. Great for repeated drills where natural grass gets destroyed quickly.
Football pitches
Perfect for community clubs and academies. A compact artificial pitch stays playable year-round and makes training nights far easier to schedule.
Hockey training areas
Hockey skills need a reliable surface. A turf training zone gives consistent ball movement and helps players develop faster without worrying about rough patches.
Rugby warm-up and skills zones
Great for handling foot traffic and repeated use. It’s a practical option for clubs that want a stable surface for drills and conditioning.
School and community multi-sport spaces
Where one area needs to do many jobs, sports turf creates a flexible surface that supports a wide range of training and games.
Indoor or covered training setups
Some facilities want training surfaces under cover. Turf can be a strong option for consistent use where weather isn’t predictable and session volume is high.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sports suit your artificial sports turf best?
Our sports turf range is designed to suit multiple codes, including hockey, soccer, netball and rugby training. The right system depends on how the field will be used, whether its boots vs trainers, and frequency of sessions. Tell us what sport and we’ll recommend a surface that fits the performance and durability you need.
Is synthetic turf a good option for rugby training areas?
Yes, especially for training zones that get hammered. Rugby training involves repeated foot traffic, contact drills, and wet-weather sessions that can wreck natural grass. A well-built synthetic training area stays more consistent through the season and reduces the “mud pit” problem.
What does “sports grade yarn” mean in sports field turf?
Sports grade yarn is built for performance and durability—designed to handle higher wear, weather exposure, and the demands of training. It helps the surface hold up in high-use environments and maintain its look and feel over time.
How does an artificial sports field handle heavy rain?
Drainage is a system thing. The turf itself is built to drain, but the base underneath needs correct shaping and construction so water moves away efficiently. With a proper install, sports turf can stay usable more often in wet weather compared to natural grass that churns up and becomes unsafe.
Can you add line markings to artificial sports turf?
Yes. Markings can be included as part of the build so the surface is ready for training and games. Whether it’s a simple training grid or full field lines, we’ll plan it to suit your sport and your facility.
Do you install full-size sports fields or smaller areas?
Both. Some projects are full field builds, while others are smaller training pads, warm-up zones, or skills areas designed to take pressure off the main grass field. Smaller turf projects are often a cost-effective way to improve training quality without committing to a full-size field.
What maintenance does an artificial sports field need?
Sports fields need basic upkeep to stay performing well. Compared to mowing, watering, and repairing damaged grass, it’s usually far more predictable. For clubs and facilities, planned maintenance helps protect performance and extend the life of the field.
Will an artificial sports field hold up under heavy foot traffic?
Yes, our sports turf is designed for high-wear environments like training facilities. The durability comes from the turf construction and the base build underneath. If you’ve got repeated training sessions, multiple teams, or long seasons, a properly specified turf system will hold up far better than natural grass.
Can sports turf be made softer for player comfort?
Player comfort is influenced by the full system design. If comfort and impact feel are priorities (especially for training zones), we’ll talk through options and what makes sense for your sport and budget. The right balance is a surface that feels good but still performs for the sport.
How long does it take to install a sports turf training area?
Timeframes depend on site access, weather, and how much excavation and base work is required. The best way to get a realistic timeframe is to let us know your site details, and then we can plan the installation approach and minimise disruption to your season.
How long will a synthetic sports field last?
Lifespan depends on usage intensity, maintenance, and the turf system chosen. A high-use training facility will wear differently from a seasonal community field. The goal is always long-term value. Our products come with a 7 year manufacturer’s warranty, and we expect a rough lifespan of up-to 15-20 years with proper maintenance.
Can you help choose the right turf system for our sport?
Yes, that’s a big part of what we do. Different sports care about different things. If you tell us what it’s primarily going to be used for, we’ll recommend a sports turf system that fits your requirements.
