2. Excavation & Subgrade Prep

Remove organic material and level to ensure stability and drainage.

3. Drainage & Baseworks

Install geotextile, pipe systems, and crushed aggregate base.

4. Edge Fixing & Retaining

Concrete or timber edges ensure long-term surface stability.

5. Shockpad or eLayer Installation

If applicable, install elastic layers for impact absorption and compliance.

6. Handover to Installation Team

Once construction is signed off, our turf install crew takes over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — TigerTurf manages all aspects of turf base construction from start to finish. Our in-house and partnered construction teams handle excavation, compaction, laser levelling, drainage installation, aggregate base layering, and shockpad integration before any turf is laid. This ensures every surface we install starts with a durable, high-performance foundation.
Absolutely. We frequently collaborate with architects, quantity surveyors, engineers, and council stakeholders to align designs with practical construction methods. We offer technical input during planning, assist with specification documents, and ensure compliance with New Zealand codes and relevant sporting body requirements throughout the build.
Yes — TigerTurf can supply and install a range of impact-absorbing systems, including eLayer, in-situ rubber pads, and pre-formed shockpads. These layers are often required for sports fields and playgrounds to meet international and local safety or performance standards, such as FIFA Quality Pro, World Rugby Regulation 22, or FIH Global certifications.
Yes. While many clients choose our complete design–construct–install service, we also provide construction as a standalone offering. Whether you’re working with another turf supplier or want to complete the surfacing in-house, we can deliver the site preparation, base build, drainage and edge containment ready for installation.
Construction refers to the groundworks beneath the turf — excavation, base preparation, drainage, edging, and shockpads — which ensure long-term durability, safety, and compliance. Installation is the final stage, where synthetic turf is rolled out, joined, trimmed, and infilled. At TigerTurf, we offer both as integrated or independent services, depending on your project needs.
