Artificial Grass for Schools & Early Learning

Built for busy feet. Designed for carefree play.

From busy school playgrounds to imaginative daycare zones, Unreal Lawns creates smart, kid-friendly surfaces that support play, learning, and peace of mind. Our artificial grass is soft underfoot, durable under pressure, and made to thrive in New Zealand conditions—so kids can run, jump, and explore, no matter the weather. 

Designed for kids & built for educators

Artificial grass is an ideal choice for early learning centres and schools where durability, hygiene, and safety are non-negotiable. Whether you’re creating a new play zone, updating a field, or adding greenery to a sensory space, Unreal Lawns offers a practical solution that looks great and performs even better. 

Our turf stays lush without mowing or watering, resists wear from high foot traffic, and is soft enough to cushion active play. And with expert installation from our in-house team, you’ll get a smart, low-maintenance surface tailored to your space. 

Great for more than just play

Artificial turf isn’t just for running and jumping—it’s a versatile solution for enhancing all kinds of outdoor areas. From active play zones to quiet learning spaces and vibrant landscaping, Unreal Lawns helps schools and early learning centres make the most of every square metre 

Playgrounds & Courtyards

Our soft, cushioned turf is designed to absorb impact and reduce the risk of injuries, making it ideal for busy play areas. With excellent drainage and no mud or grass stains, it keeps spaces safe, clean, and usable—even after heavy rain or high foot traffic. 

Outdoor Learning Spaces 

Encourage creativity and connection with nature by turning underused areas into inviting outdoor classrooms. Artificial turf provides a durable, low-maintenance base for quiet reading zones, group learning areas, or sensory spaces that engage children in new ways.  

Sports & Athletics 

From daily PE sessions to casual games, our synthetic turf offers a level, resilient surface that supports movement and minimises downtime. Whether you’re planning a multi-use court or a mini sports pitch, our grass stays ready for action—no mud, no mess, no interruptions.  

Greenspace Landscaping 

Boost your centre’s visual appeal with artificial turf that brings instant greenery to high-use zones. Perfect for entrances, garden paths, and general outdoor flow areas, our grass stays neat and vibrant with zero mowing or watering—saving time while improving the space.
