Our customers love what we do!

Absolute gamechanger.... so happy with the result and especially Tim and the team as before I could even push go they had the whole body corporate to deal with to prove how good there product and instalation was.

The key for me initially to go with GameOn was the grass quality being so much better than what any of the other competitors offered as a mate recommended them after I saw the job they did for him as his product sits much better ( I have done two other properties before and after a year or so you really notice the product quality).

So that was cool but how they did the job and how efficient and there attention to detail on top of this is what really impressed me as it was way above what I experienced the two times and so why I wrote this review.

Highly recommend

Had the boys install my turf and can’t complain. The lads transformed my sorry state of a grass lawn to an artificial lawn which looks as good as the real stuff. The lads were very professional from start to finish and cleaned up as they went. Would highly recommend these guys to anyone wanting some artificial grass laid. The grass I got was the classic 45. Very happy with everything, A+++

Amazing service from Lelane and the Team! They helped us transform an animal rescue enclosure and can't recommend them enough!

Thank you Game On turf for your delivery and installation of our 6 astroturf tennis courts at Rotorua Tennis Club. It was so great to have such good communication throughout the process and the team worked tirelessly, in challenging weather, to get this job done to a high standard. It is a rare treat to have such good forward planning and to have the team arrive exactly when they say they will despite travelling a fair distance to reach our club. The after sales service has also been wonderful and we have really appreciated the support from Bevan and his team following the install. The crew treated our club with respect and we were totally at ease to leave them with full access during their stay in Rotorua.
I would thoroughly recommend Game On turf as a supplier/installer for any sports club. They have made a big job seamless.
Lara Wild, Secretary - Rotorua Tennis Club
Their response time to any communication was excellent. They were the first to visit the school site and discuss the proposal. Our communication was with Tim McIntosh and this was always prompt and clear. We contacted other organisations that had worked with GameOn Turf to get info on the criteria above. All references were very positive. GameOn Turf were open to any changes in the plan, but were also very clear about deadline dates for the design etc. The workmen who laid the turf were independent and completed the project well. They had to problem solve some issues, which they did and kept me informed. I can recommend GameOn Turf based on the work that Maunu School had done.
Paul Shepherd, Principal - Maunu School
A big thank you to Game On Turf for the installation of our new turf. This has been a great result for the community with our sports teams actively training on the turf each day. Our six Saturday Netball Teams have grown to Ten Teams since the installation. I am sure the turf was a part of the decision to play for the school. Tim and the team were great to work with, plenty of communication and sharing of ideas. The visual result speaks for itself.
Thank you for supporting our dream and enabling us to develop the sporting talent within our school and local community.
Glen Ryan, Principal - St. Anne's School
Big thank you to the Game on Turf team, especially Bevan, Fraser and Karl who travelled all the way to Gisborne to install it. The turf looks incredible, especially with the running track on the outside. And our students find any excuse to play on it at all times. Awesome team to deal with – and would highly recommend to anyone! Ngā mihi
Keita Pepere, Principals PA - Te Karaka School

frequently asked questions

Yes, artificial turf is the industry standard for hockey fields because it ensures a perfectly consistent ball roll and reliable traction. Unlike natural grass, synthetic hockey surfaces do not develop ruts or bare patches, allowing for the high-speed precision play the sport requires. The specific speed and responsiveness of the pitch are determined by the particular turf system and pile density selected for your facility.

Artificial turf maintains stable playability and consistent ball speed even in heavy rain, significantly reducing weather-related cancellations. Our advanced drainage designs and professional baseworks ensure that water clears the surface rapidly to prevent ponding. This reliability allows clubs and schools to continue training and matches throughout the New Zealand winter without the risk of a muddy, unusable field.

Yes, we specialise in installing hockey surfaces for school multi-use courts, club training grounds, and dedicated competitive facilities. Synthetic turf is exceptionally resilient and easily manages the high daily usage and repetitive drills common in educational environments. We adapt the final specifications to meet your specific level of play:

  • School Level: Durable, multi-sport surfaces that support hockey along with other PE activities.
  • Club/Competitive: High-density systems designed for optimal ball speed and professional-grade performance.

The performance of a hockey pitch is primarily determined by ball speed, surface grip, and shock absorption. These technical characteristics are influenced by the fibre structure, the type of infill used, and the quality of the shockpad underlay. We select the optimal combination of these elements to ensure the surface is safe for players and meets the specific performance standards required for the sport.

Maintenance for synthetic hockey turf is minimal and far less labour-intensive than maintaining a natural grass field. Regular care focuses on keeping the surface clear of organic debris and monitoring the condition of the turf to ensure peak performance. Periodic professional servicing is recommended for high-use facility pitches to preserve the pile integrity and extend the overall lifespan of the investment.

Yes, permanent line markings are built directly into the turf layout during the installation process for maximum durability. This eliminates the need for regular repainting and ensures that all lines remain accurate and highly visible for years. Our installations follow regulation dimensions to ensure your field meets the necessary standards for competitive club or school hockey.

The lifespan of a hockey surface depends on the intensity of use and the consistency of the maintenance routine. Our turf systems are engineered for long-term durability and are UV-stabilised to withstand the harsh New Zealand sun. Professional installation combined with appropriate upkeep ensures the surface remains in top condition, protecting your facility’s asset for the long term.
