Artificial Turf
Artificial Turf on the Coromandel
Coromandel sections are the ones where access decides the job. A lot of them are terraced or on a slope, and plenty are holiday homes that sit empty for months at a time, which is exactly when a real lawn dies.
The Ground Here
What we are building on in Coromandel
The soil
A mix of clay and sand over volcanic rock, on sites that are often steep or terraced and carry heavy bush cover. The peninsula also gets significantly more rain than the Bay of Plenty coast, and the salt air comes with being coastal on both sides.
What that means for the build
Access is the first thing we work out, because on a steep or terraced site a machine often cannot get in and the base material goes in by barrow. That changes the labour, so we price it honestly instead of discovering it on day one. Heavy rainfall means the surface has to shed water properly and the base has to keep draining, and on a slope the edge restraint is doing real structural work rather than just tidying the edge.

The full build sequence, the cleaning and maintenance side, and the questions people ask before getting a quote are all on the main artificial turf page. The excavation and drainage side is a trade of its own, and we cover what that looks like per area on the landscaping page.
