Helping architects bring outdoor spaces to life
Technical expertise, specification support and premium artificial grass solutions for projects that demand long-term performance.
Whether you're designing a townhouse development, school playground, retirement village or commercial landscape, our team can help with product selection, samples, technical documentation and installation advice.
Specify artificial grass with confidence
We work alongside architects, landscape architects, designers and developers to help deliver outdoor spaces that are visually appealing, durable and practical to maintain.
Supporting better outdoor spaces
When specifying artificial grass, performance matters just as much as appearance. Our systems are designed to help create outdoor environments that are visually appealing, practical to maintain and enjoyable to use year-round.
Performance drainage
Fully permeable backing technology and drainage rates exceeding 30,000mm per hour mean our artificial grass performs exceptionally well where drainage and stormwater management are important. Unlike traditional hole-punched systems, water drains through the entire backing, helping outdoor spaces remain functional year-round.
This makes our products an excellent choice for townhouse developments, shared outdoor spaces, and commercial landscapes where effective stormwater management is key.
Natural-looking finish
Designed to replicate the colour, texture and variation found in natural grass, our products create outdoor spaces that complement modern landscape design. A carefully balanced blend of yarn colours and fibres helps deliver a realistic appearance that looks great throughout the year.
The result is a premium finish that enhances residential, commercial and community projects while maintaining a natural look and feel over time.
Low maintenance
Reduce the need for mowing, watering, fertilisers and ongoing lawn maintenance while maintaining a consistently green appearance throughout the year.
For developers, property managers and end users, this can help reduce ongoing maintenance requirements and whole-of-life costs while ensuring outdoor spaces remain attractive and usable for years to come.
Proven durability
UV-stabilised fibres, commercial-grade construction and premium materials are designed to perform in New Zealand's demanding conditions. Our products are engineered to withstand high levels of foot traffic while maintaining their appearance and performance over time.
This makes them well suited to residential developments, commercial and community spaces where durability and long-term value are essential.
A partner from concept to delivery
We understand that every project has unique design requirements, site conditions and performance expectations.
Our team works alongside architects, landscape architects and developers throughout the design and construction process, providing practical support and technical guidance when it's needed.
Whether you're preparing concept plans, tender documentation or detailed construction drawings, our team can provide the technical information and practical advice needed to help streamline documentation, improve buildability and reduce design risk.
