The use of artificial turf surfaces in the sporting arena has continued its consistent growth since the 1980’s, moving through a number of significant stages over the past 30 years. The ongoing technology developments have seen the old surfaces transform into the ultimate playing surfaces, and in many different sports changing the way the game is played. From old sand-filled synthetic turf, to ‘wet’ hockey turfs and now 4G Football turfs, the changes in the way players and balls interact with the surface have changed the sports and viewing experience for spectators. Sports turf in NZ has seen a remarkable evolution, with synthetic sports turf becoming increasingly popular. The greatest benefit of synthetic grass in NZ is its all-weather playability and increased hours of use over natural turf surfaces. 

The greatest benefit of synthetic sports turf is its all-weather playability and increased hours of use over natural turf surfaces. New Zealand’s variable climate, wet winters and growing population is placing an ever-increasing pressure on school and council sports facilities. With the use of artificial sports turf and synthetic grass in NZ, our communities can cater for the increasing foot traffic while providing world-class playing surfaces for both young and old.
