TigerTurf products are lead‑free and made from premium TenCate yarns. No harmful chemicals, pesticides, or fertilizers required.

No Muddy Paws, No Bare Patches

What Makes TigerTurf Turf Ideal for Pets
Manufactured locally in NZ for local conditions — dependable in sun, rain, and everything in between.
TigerCool® Technology — our yarn reduces surface temperature by up to 15% (≈10°C drop), making turf more comfortable for pets in sun
Durable construction with UV stabilisation and a robust backing to resist tearing or chew damage.
High drainage capacity — prevents pooling and ensures liquid moves quickly through to the base.
Comes in multiple pile heights; for pet use, around 35 mm is often recommended for balance between softness and cleanability.
Installation & Maintenance Tips for Pet Owners
1. Proper Base Preparation
Excavate to appropriate depth, ensure proper compaction, and allow for both
2. Secure Installation
Edges must be fixed firmly; seams must be tight and well-adhered to prevent turf movement from digging or playful activity.
3. Choose the Right Infill
Use a pet-safe, odour-reducing infill (e.g. zeolite-based or sand blends) to help absorb liquids and neutralise smells.
4. Routine Cleaning
Hose down regularly to wash away waste residue. Scoop solids and rinse. For extra hygiene, a diluted vinegar solution or pet‑safe spray is useful.
5. Brushing & Grooming
Occasional brushing uprightens fibres and helps maintain appearance (especially around high-traffic / run zones).
6. Shade & Cooling Considerations
Even with TigerCool, shade or water features help reduce turf heating in peak sun hours.

We recently had turf installed by Tiger Turf and couldn't be happier with the experience. I’d like to say a big thank you to Guy, Morgan, and Rob for their fantastic work. Morgan, in particular, took the time to walk me through how they would protect my property, especially given the very tight access. He patiently answered all my questions and even helped improve the design. The team did an excellent job — the turf looks brilliant, and they left everything neat and tidy. I’d highly recommend Tiger Turf to anyone looking for top-quality service and results!

I was recommended Tiger Turf and they exceeded my expectations. The Quote and communication with Guy was amazing. The day of the fake grass being Laid I was blown away with all of the workers. They did a quick professional job and the result was amazing. I would fully recommend them.

This review is a bit overdue, but I'm sure nothing has changed with the service and quality work that the team carried out back in January 2024. Ben, the nice guy turned up and did the measure and quote and kept us up to date with what was happening, and when.
Prior to installation we decided to extend the area to be laid, and that wasn't a problem. There was also some tricky landscaping required, and Tiger Turf delivered.
Thanks team, job well done, and we get to enjoy it every day. 😊

We had a very good experience with the Tiger Turf team from start to finish. Would recommend the product for smaller spaces if you have kids that like to play outside. The sales team and the installation team were nice folks and very good at their job.... highly recommended them if you're considering turf.

Poor work ethic / morals from staff & management, on multiple occasions worker was at our house for all of 20minutes to spray and clean the tennis court when this usually takes over 2 hours. Coincidentally the moss didn't die on both occasions and grew back within days later, called Tiger Turf to let them know it didn't get sprayed and they said it did and kept giving excuses like "it must have washed off in the rain" or "his gps shows he was there for 2.5 hours" "it was definitely done" as to why it may have grown back so quickly or that WE are lying but never admitting that their worker never finished the job properly. Myself and my mother were home on both occasions. Used to be a great service but they've seemed to have gotten too big for their boots now. Thanks alot for the customer support
