OUR SPORTS FIELD TURF RANGE

Each sport has different demands; pile height, infill type, drainage gradient, and line marking all change depending on what’s being played.

That’s why we don’t offer a single product; we spec every sports turf installation to perform from day one through to fifteen years down the track. See our sports installation options below or get in touch to discuss your project needs.

SPORTS TURF INSTALLATION:
OUR PROCESS

A quality sports turf installation isn’t just about laying a surface; it’s about everything that happens before and after. The GameOn Turf team manages the full project lifecycle in-house, meaning you have one point of contact and no gaps between trades.

1. Consultation & CAD Design

We start with a site visit and a detailed brief. From there, we produce CAD drawings and a layout plan tailored to your sport, space, and budget. You’ll see exactly what you’re getting before a single sod is turned.

2. Earthworks & Base Construction

We own and operate our own machinery (trucks, diggers, tractors), so our own team completes all earthworks and base preparation. There are no subcontractors or scheduling delays; the base is built to drain correctly, sit level, and support the surface for its full lifespan.

3. Turf Installation

Our team handles the entire process of installing artificial turf for sports fields: turf laying, infill application, line marking, and any required sports equipment or fencing. We operate nationwide, with the majority of our projects based across the Auckland region.

4. Handover & Ongoing Support

Once the surface is complete, we provide a full handover with maintenance guidance. We’re a family-owned business, treating every project as our top priority, and that doesn’t stop when the job is done.

frequently asked questions

We install specialised artificial sports turf for a wide range of sports and activities, including tennis, hockey, cricket, football, golf, and multi-use courts. Every surface is custom-engineered to meet the sport’s specific performance standards, ensuring the correct ball speed and player traction. Our designs are tailored to the unique requirements of each discipline, providing a professional-grade playing experience.

Artificial turf is the preferred choice for modern facilities because it provides consistent playing conditions regardless of the weather. Unlike natural grass, synthetic sports turf surfaces offer several logistical advantages:

  • Extreme Durability: The turf withstands intensive, back-to-back training sessions without thinning or wearing down.
  • Reduced Downtime: Advanced drainage systems ensure the surface remains playable immediately after heavy rainfall.
  • Lower Overheads: You eliminate the high costs associated with constant mowing, irrigation, and chemical treatments.

Yes, we specialise in multi-sport surfaces that allow clubs and schools to maximise the utility of a single area. We integrate permanent, colour-coded line markings for multiple sports into a single layout. This approach is ideal for facilities where space is at a premium, as it allows a single court to serve as a high-performance space for netball, tennis, and hockey.

Our artificial turf for sports fields is engineered specifically for high-frequency foot traffic and the dynamic movements of competitive athletes. The longevity of the surface is supported by professional base preparation and the use of high-density, UV-stabilised fibres. These robust systems maintain their structural integrity and performance characteristics even under the most demanding daily schedules.

The balance of traction, shock absorption, ball response, and stability determines the quality of a sports surface. The specific components of the installation shape these performance factors:

  • Fibre Type: The shape and height of the turf blade influence ball roll and player grip.
  • Underlay Systems: Technical shockpads provide essential cushioning to protect athletes' joints.
  • Infill Selection: The correct type and amount of infill ensure a stable, predictable playing surface.

Maintenance for synthetic sports turf is minimal and significantly less intensive than that of natural grass. You eliminate the need for daily irrigation and mechanical mowing, reducing both labour and utility costs. Routine care focuses on keeping the surface clear of debris and performing periodic professional checks to ensure the infill remains level and the drainage remains clear.

It depends on the size and complexity of the artificial sports turf installation. A single court or small multi-sports surface typically takes one to two weeks once earthworks are complete. Larger facilities, such as full-size pitches, multi-field complexes, or projects requiring significant base construction, will take longer.

We’ll always provide a clear project timeline during the consultation so that you can plan around it. Because we manage earthworks and installations in-house, you’re not left waiting on separate contractors.

The lifespan of artificial sports turf surfaces depends on the intensity of use and the commitment to a regular care routine. Our turf systems are manufactured for long-term durability in the New Zealand climate. Investing in a professional installation and following our maintenance guidance will protect the surface and ensure it remains a high-performance asset for many years.
