TigerTurf’s synthetic grass is made from either polypropylene or polyethylene yarn depending on its end-use. These materials are durable and U.V stabilised, sourced from TenCate Grass, the world’s leading yarn manufacturer. The yarn is tufted into a polypropylene backing cloth and rubber backed for maximum turf retention.
TigerTurf synthetic turf is proudly manufactured in Auckland, New Zealand, and has been crafted locally by Kiwis for Kiwis for over 40 years.
While our roots and primary production remain in Auckland, TigerTurf also operates facilities in Kidderminster, UK, serving Europe and the Middle East, and in Austin, Texas, supporting North and South America.
We offer a wide range of sports and landscape systems for all levels of users and budgets.
How much your TigerTurf will cost depends on a range of different variables such as the type of turf, layout, base preparation, access to sites, end-use and intensity of use. Most of our customers require custom systems or systems that are required to meet stringent sport governing bodies.
TigerTurf works with a network of construction professionals who can provide you with a cost for your TigerTurf system. Drop us an email for more information.
The life expectancy of any turf product is dependent on the amount of use it gets, the types of sports played on it and the type of yarn used in the manufacturing process. Generally, we have a life expectancy of approximately 15 years, some have gone on to 20 plus years, but we would expect (depending on the level of usage) for your surface to last 10 to 15 years.
There have been a lot of recent claims regarding the safety, health and environmental issues associated with synthetic grass. There are numerous reports from highly reputable independent sources that conclude that synthetic surfaces are safe and do not have a negative impact on humans or the environment. For more information, give us a call or drop us an email.
You can do pretty much whatever you want with your TigerTurf, we’ve even had people cover their cars with it!
However, we recommend you infill and carry out maintenance on your lawn to get the most out of it. Rolling up and storing your grass may cause the pile to become flat and lines and creases may appear.
It also becomes more difficult to infill, as sand will need to be removed before it’s stored. Your TigerTurf may not last as long and you won’t get the same result as when it’s laid permanently, infilled and maintained.
We do not recommend driving vehicles on the turf but if you must, then we suggest driving slowly and in straight lines. We would recommend laying plywood on top of the turf to avoid direct damage.
The main reasons are increased user activity, reduced injury rates and severity, and the consistent, all-weather surfaces that allow students/players to reach their full potential.
Synthetic pitches are available 24/7, with no cancellations due to bad weather, and can accommodate multiple sports, maximizing usage and minimizing maintenance.
TigerTurf provides detailed maintenance guidelines for all our surfaces, and you’ll receive a maintenance guide once your pitch is completed.
Regular upkeep may vary based on your surroundings, such as removing leaves or spraying for mould and moss in shaded areas. However, if you prefer, our dedicated maintenance team can handle all aspects of turf care for you.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out, and one of our team members will be happy to help.
TigerTurf has a dedicated maintenance division that provides regular upkeep for many of our sports turf customers. We can assess your courts, offer a maintenance quote, and give you the option to join TigerTurf’s maintenance programme for ongoing care.
Yes. We take pride in delivering quality systems and stand firmly behind them. Although the length of our product warranties varies depending on the surface, it covers manufacturing workmanship, fit for purpose, UV degradation, and significant fading.
In addition, many of the contractors we work with regularly offer warranties for their products (i.e. sub bases) and services.
Our different surfaces require different footwear to ensure your pitch lasts as long as possible. You can view our 3G footwear guide here and our sand-dressed surface footwear guide here. If you’re still unsure pop a picture of your boots to us and we’ll let you know if they’re suitable.
For gym sled tracks, we would recommend a product made with a texturized, monofilament yarn like Advantage, WETT Pro or Trophy. Indoor installations of synthetic turf must comply with the building code with the appropriate fire testing certification for your building. View TigerTurf NZ’s Fire Risk Statement here.
A single surface can accommodate Tennis, Netball, Hockey, Football, Athletics, Basketball, Cricket, as well as general PE and other activities.
For sports requiring specialized surfaces, dedicated installations can be provided for Football, Hockey, Rugby, and Cricket.
Absolutely, our surfaces can be installed directly onto a concrete pad with little if any base preparation. In fact, it is the best performing base for our surfaces.
We have several turfs that make excellent Multi-Sport surfaces for Tennis and Hockey but also Netball & Football.
If you experience field closures, flooding, constant rescheduling of activities, lack of space, lack of use, high maintenance costs, or any other issues with your natural grass pitches, then synthetic turf will probably be a better solution and provide a positive outcome. Our advanced turf technology is designed to replicate the best natural grass fields. TigerTurf systems offer unrivaled playability, durability, and performance all year round. With a TigerTurf pitch, you can play better for longer.
Yes, TigerTurf systems have specially designed drainage holes placed consistently throughout the turf to ensure water sheds quickly and efficiently and does not pool on the surface.
Sub bases upon which TigerTurf systems are installed should be designed to provide superior drainage properties as well. Recommended specifications are available from TigerTurf to help ensure the entire system, sub-base to blades of grass, drains appropriately for years to come.
TigerTurf has a range of different colours depending on the type of turf you require. Options include olive green, forest green, light blue, dark blue, brick and red. This range of colours is based on our most requested and most popular.
The line-markings that mark out the sports parametres are tufted into the surface at manufacture where possible. Otherwise, they are cut and glued into the turf during the installation process.
The turf is loose laid over the asphalt and glued at the seems and directly to the surface around the perimeter. This is so we do not require smooth concrete or asphalt base. The turf is then generally infilled with sand and/or granular infill which provide support to the grass fibres thereby improving performance in wear and visual appearance.
Costs of supply and installation depend on a number of different variables such as the type of grass, base preparation required, shape and size of the area, access, etc. TigerTurf provide quotes for installations on a case by case basis either directly or through your local TigerTurf installer.
You can find out who your local installer is by emailing us at NZinfo@tigerturf.com or giving us a call on 0800 804 134.

We do not recommend hoovering your TigerTurf as it will remove the sand infill, causing your lawn to go flat. Use a brush or a rake to remove any leaves or debris.

Synthetic grass is very resistant to staining. Spills can be cleaned easily. Damage to the grass can be repaired, in a similar method to repairing carpet.
We work with a network of maintenance partners that can help with any repairs or damage to your TigerTurf.
Once the grass had been installed, it should then be in-filled with the correct specification and quantity of sand.
The infill is important because it provides weight to the carpet and helps provide support to the grass fibres thereby improving performance in wear and visual appearance of the lawn.
The synthetic grass must be laid on a suitable base. This can be crushed rock (similar to a paving base) asphalt, concrete (porous or non-porous)or timber. The base should be constructed and prepared to ensure the grass is laid flat and looks natural and great.
