How we install artificial turf
-
Site Assessment and Preparation: Our team will assess and then measure and prepare the area by digging out 100mm, leveling the ground, and filling it with the right aggregates for a stable foundation. This step ensures your turf has a secure, smooth base.
-
Laying the Turf: After preparing the area, we lay the turf using nails, pins, and glue. The seams are heat-bonded, ensuring no movement once it’s in place. Whether your space has obstacles or unique shapes, we’ll make sure the installation is precise.
- Finishing Touches: After installation, we’ll do a final sweep to ensure the turf is properly in place, creating an artificial lawn that stays beautiful for years.
Aftercare tips for your artificial grass turf
Once your artificial grass turf is installed, it’s easy to keep it in great condition with just a little care:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a broom or blower to remove debris and leaves. For deeper cleaning, simply hose the turf with a gentle spray to wash away dust and dirt.
- Brushing: Brush the fibres with a soft broom or specialised turf brush to keep them upright and looking fresh.
- Check for Wear: Regularly inspect your turf for any loose seams or signs of damage, especially in high-traffic areas. If needed, our team can help with repairs.
- Commercial Maintenance: For spaces with high foot traffic, periodic maintenance like replenishing infill material and brushing may be required to keep your turf in top shape.
Artificial turf is designed to withstand New Zealand's diverse weather conditions, from intense UV exposure to heavy rainfall. Drainage holes keep the surface looking great.
Yes, artificial turf can be repaired similarly to how carpet is fixed. Damaged sections can be cut out and replaced, and seams can be rejoined to restore the turf's appearance and functionality. Regular maintenance can also help extend the turf's lifespan and keep it looking its best.
