Luxurious lawn

For the owners of this beautiful home in the idyllic Lake Hayes area of Central Otago, having SmartGrass installed in the grounds enabled them to achieve their landscaping brief for a perfect lawn.

“The Central Otago climate is a challenge for ordinary grass due to the hot summers drying up the ground and the cool winters turning the grass to mush,” says SmartGrass’ Managing Director Jack Kennedy. “SmartGrass is made for New Zealand weather conditions, is maintenance free and looks great all year round.”

For these Lake Hayes homeowners, a busy lifestyle meant that a low-maintenance lawn to complement the exceptional, natural landscaping was a must. It also needed to be incredibly durable and weather the seasons as well as be permeable for use around the spa pool.

This environmentally friendly lawn is constructed with up to six different natural-coloured blades up to 40 mm high, giving a luxurious look and feel (even with the brown bits!). SmartGrass looks so real that it’s often mistaken for the real thing.

While the artificial grass installation process may seem daunting, the expert team completed this entire project in around one week. The existing lawn was dug out by the installers, who then laid new timber edging and prepared the laser levelled base using compacted rock. The grass was then laid, and a layer of sand was spread onto the top, which then hides below the surface and helps the blades to stand up.

“The homeowners are happy with the result, with this beautiful lawn complementing their stunning home and surrounding landscape,” says Jack.

SmartGrass has completed dozens of projects in Central Otago and throughout New Zealand this year for clients looking to enhance their landscape with a perfect-looking lawn, to create a ‘lock up and leave’ scenario with reduced maintenance, and to get more use out of their space.

This versatile artificial lawn is perfect for a range of applications, both residential and commercial. It has all the benefits of real grass without the maintenance, especially for dog owners who face the constant challenge of a ravaged lawn. With this synthetic alternative, pet owners can always have a beautiful garden.
