Football turf for schools.

Daily PT, afternoon coaching, weekend matches, and a surface that is still true when this year's sixth standard graduates. What a school ground needs and what it costs.

Ultimate Guide to Artificial Turf

A school ground works harder than a stadium. Six periods a day, five days a week, then coaching and matches. Nothing else in sports infrastructure sees that many hours, which is why the yarn weight matters more here than anywhere.

The right specification.

14,000 dtex is the floor for a school. It carries daily use for eight to ten years; 12K wears through in five under a school timetable. Sand-dressed rather than heavily rubber-filled where younger children play, and multi-sport lines inlaid so the same ground hosts cricket and volleyball. Fencing to the height the site needs, and lighting if the ground earns evening income.

Safety and compliance.

FIFA Quality systems are tested for shock absorption and rotational resistance, which is what protects knees and ankles. We share the test report with the school. Line marking is inlaid, so there is no repainting and no paint on uniforms.

What it costs.

A 7-a-side school ground of 14,000 sq ft on 14K turf lands around ₹28 to ₹46 lakh all-in, less if the school already has a boundary wall and does not need lights. Many schools phase it: ground first, lights later. Full breakdown in the cost guide.

How it works.

  1. Tell us the ground. Area, sport, city, and what it has to survive. The Field Designer gives you a drawing and a roll plan.
  2. Site visit. Levels, falls, drainage, base.
  3. Quotation in 48 hours. One number: base, supply, installation, marking, with the data sheet.
  4. Build and handover. Crews stay until the lines are down and the care brief is in your hands.

Questions, asked often.

Can the ground be used for other sports?

Yes. Cricket, volleyball, kabaddi and handball lines can be inlaid in contrasting colours. For cricket-first schools the 35 mm hybrid turf is the better surface.

How long does construction take during term?

Two to three weeks for a 7-a-side. Most schools build over a vacation; we schedule around the calendar.

Do you provide a maintenance plan?

Yes, a written care brief at handover and an optional annual visit.

Where are you based and where do you deliver?

Warehouse and design office in Surat, Gujarat. Turf ships by road to every state; same day in Surat, next day to Ahmedabad and Mumbai, two to six days elsewhere. See where we build.
