Readylawn Christchurch is the head office of the original same-day lawn providers in New Zealand — a third-generation family business that has been rolling out green spaces since 1969. From 913 Shands Road in Prebbleton, the team supplies and installs roll-out instant lawn, natural turf and synthetic artificial grass for outdoor spaces big and small, from suburban backyards to sports fields and whole developments.
The core business is the production and sale of quality roll-out instant lawn, grown on dedicated grass farms in Auckland, Christchurch, Timaru and Dunedin. Customers choose real, lush natural grass or a low-maintenance artificial lawn that looks just like the real thing, plus a hard-working artificial turf built for sports surfaces with colour options. Beyond the turf itself, services extend to landscape design and construction, irrigation, lawn care advice, lawn maintenance, sports field construction, and golf course construction and maintenance.
Alongside installation, Readylawn developed Lawnlife, its own range of high-quality lawn care and maintenance products, sold through the online shop with flat-rate shipping across New Zealand. Free guides cover installing roll-out grass and artificial turf, aftercare and seasonal maintenance, and quotes are obligation-free. The Christchurch operation is still run by the founding Morgan family, so advice comes from people who have been obsessed with grass for over fifty years.
Most lawns take months of seed, water and hopeful staring at bare dirt. A Readylawn lawn arrives on a truck, gets rolled out, and by the end of the day the outdoor space you have been imagining is simply there. That instant-gratification idea has been the company's calling card since the 1960s — Readylawn are the original same-day lawn providers in New Zealand, supplying and installing roll-out instant lawn, natural turf and synthetic grass from dedicated grass farms around the country.
Readylawn began in Christchurch more than fifty years ago, founded by Alan Morgan and Roger Pollard. Today it is a third-generation family business: Roger Morgan and Craig Morgan run the Christchurch operation, with Roger's sons Alex and Joshua now taking key roles. The company's natural turf is grown on dedicated grass farms in Auckland, Christchurch, Timaru and Dunedin, so what lands in your yard is fresh, locally grown grass rather than something that has travelled for days.
The core business is the production and sale of what Readylawn describes as the best quality roll-out instant lawn in the country — lush natural grass supplied on its own or with a fast, professional installation from the in-house team. For lower-maintenance lifestyles, there is an easy-care artificial turf that looks just like the real thing, plus a hard-working artificial range built for sports surfaces, which comes in colour options too. Whichever route you take, the company publishes free guides on installing roll-out grass and artificial turf, plus an aftercare guide and a maintenance calendar for looking after your lawn once it is down.
Readylawn Christchurch works across three broad customer types. Residential customers can choose real, lush grass or a low-maintenance artificial lawn to enhance their outdoor space. Parks and sports grounds — cricket pitches, sports turf and common areas — get hard-wearing turf quoted, supplied and installed. And developers use Readylawn to create instant kerb appeal on commercial and residential developments. The expertise goes beyond simply laying grass: each location can offer installation services, landscape design and construction, irrigation, lawn care advice, lawn maintenance, sports field construction, and golf course construction and maintenance.
As the business grew, Readylawn developed Lawnlife, its own range of high-quality turf care and maintenance products. The range is available through the online shop, with flat-rate shipping across New Zealand — $15 in the South Island and $20 in the North Island on lawn care products up to 25kg. Seasonal bundles like the Annual Maintenance Boost Pack make it easy to feed and care for a lawn through the year, and the products are the same ones Readylawn's own crews trust and use.
Projects start with an obligation-free quote: you tell the team whether you are a residential property, a sports club or school, a commercial developer, or a builder or landscaper, choose natural or artificial turf, and select supply only or supply and install. From there, the lawn installation team handles the job for any of the stocked lawn types. For the hands-on types, the free installation guides walk you through doing it yourself, and the aftercare resources keep the new lawn thriving.
The Prebbleton head office at 913 Shands Road is home base for the wider team — managing director Roger Morgan, contracts manager Craig Morgan, major contracts manager and turf specialist Peter Maclachlan, office manager Alex Morgan, Joshua Morgan on sports field construction and survey, and office admin Abby Bradley. If you are in Christchurch or the surrounding districts and your lawn is more bare dirt than living carpet, this is where the same-day lawn story started — and where you can request a quote, shop Lawnlife products, or simply get advice from people who have been obsessed with grass for over fifty years.
