Turf8

Frequently Asked Questions
General

Turf8 is a Mumbai-based artificial grass and sports turf company. We supply and install landscape turf for gardens, balconies, terraces and commercial spaces, and FIFA, FIH, FIP, FIBA, BWF and ITF certified sports turf for football, cricket, tennis, padel, pickleball and multi-sport courts - handling everything from consultation and design through installation and aftercare.

Turf8 is based at Marine Lines, Mumbai, and primarily serves homes, businesses and sports facilities across Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. We also take on projects elsewhere in Maharashtra and other parts of India on request - share your project location with us for confirmation.

Artificial grass is a synthetic turf surface engineered to look and feel like natural lawn, built from durable, UV-stabilised fibres set into a backing. Unlike natural grass, it doesn't need watering, mowing or pesticides, stays green through every season, and holds up to heavy foot traffic - making it a low-maintenance alternative for gardens, balconies, terraces and commercial landscapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Landscape Turf

Ultra 35 is a balanced, three-tone turf suited to both landscaping and light sports use. Ultra 45 has a denser, deeper pile for a richer, premium-lawn look. Ultra 60 is our plushest option - a 60mm, four-tone blend built for feature gardens, terraces and hospitality spaces where appearance matters most. Our team can recommend the right one once we've seen your space.
Yes. Turf8's landscape turf is designed to be soft, non-toxic, and child and pet friendly, making it a practical surface for home lawns, balconies and school play areas. It also drains well and is easy to hose down, which helps keep the surface hygienic for everyday use.
Yes, balconies are one of our most common landscape installations. We use a lightweight turf build-up with a proper drainage layer so water runs off cleanly instead of pooling, which protects the floor below and keeps the turf from staying damp. It's a quick way to turn an unused balcony into usable green space with no soil or watering involved.
Yes. Terrace turf needs a slightly different approach than ground-level lawns - we check the existing waterproofing, slope and outlets first, then lay a turf and underlay combination that drains well and won't damage the surface underneath. This makes terraces a practical spot for a lounge lawn, kids' play area or entertaining space.
Yes, we install rooftop turf regularly, and done correctly it protects rather than damages waterproofing. We use a permeable underlay and drainage-friendly layout so water reaches existing outlets instead of collecting on the membrane, and we inspect the rooftop's condition before starting so any repairs happen before turf goes down, not after.
For open garden areas and lawns, most homeowners choose Ultra 35 for an everyday natural look at a lower cost, or Ultra 45 for a denser, more lush finish. We factor in how the garden is used - relaxing space, kids' play area, or a mix - before recommending a grade, and always prepare the base properly so the lawn stays flat and drains well through the monsoon.
Yes. Villas and bungalows are a large part of our landscape work, since they typically have more outdoor area to design around - front and back lawns, driveways, poolside decks and garden borders. We handle the full scope for these projects, from layout planning and ground preparation to turf selection and finishing, so the whole outdoor space reads as one cohesive design.
Landscape turf, like our Ultra 35, 45 and 60, is built for looks, comfort and everyday durability in gardens, balconies and commercial spaces. Sports turf is engineered and certified to sport-specific standards for ball roll, bounce, grip and shock absorption, since it needs to perform consistently under competitive play.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sports Turf

We supply dedicated turf systems for football, cricket, tennis, padel and pickleball, as well as multi-sport courts that support basketball, volleyball and futsal on a single surface. Each turf type is engineered for that sport's specific ball roll, bounce, grip and shock-absorption requirements.
These are the official governing bodies for football, hockey, padel, basketball, badminton and tennis respectively. Turf certified by them has passed strict lab and field testing for ball roll, shock absorption, rebound and player interaction - so a certified turf is verified to perform to the standard those sports require, not just look the part.
Yes. Our multi-sport turf is built to handle basketball, volleyball, futsal and similar games on the same court - a practical option for schools, academies and community facilities that need one surface to flex across several activities rather than building separate courts.
Football turf is built and tested for the sport, not just landscaping - it's engineered for consistent ball roll, controlled bounce, and shock absorption to reduce injury risk during tackles and falls. Our football turf is FIFA-approved, so it meets the certification standard used for professional and academy pitches, and it's built to take heavy, repeated play without matting down.
Cricket turf needs consistent pace and bounce so the ball behaves predictably for both batters and bowlers, along with strong wear resistance since pitches and run-ups take repeated, concentrated impact. Turf8's cricket turf is engineered for exactly this - consistent bounce, controlled pace, and durability across nets, practice pitches and full grounds.
Yes. Our tennis court turf is engineered for balanced ball speed and uniform bounce across the full court, with cushioning that reduces joint impact during long rallies. It's a lower-maintenance alternative to clay or hard courts for academies, clubs, housing societies and private courts, while still delivering consistent, tournament-appropriate play.
Yes, padel and pickleball are both growing fast in India and we build dedicated courts for each. Padel surfaces are designed for fast rallies and controlled ball behaviour off the walls, while our pickleball surfaces focus on accurate ball response, grip and player safety. Both are engineered for the specific dimensions and play style of the sport rather than adapted from another court type.
Yes, basketball and volleyball are covered under our multi-sport turf range, which is built to handle the grip, traction and impact demands of both games - often on the same court alongside futsal. This is a popular choice for schools, academies and community facilities that want one durable surface to serve several sports rather than building and maintaining separate courts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Installation & Pricing

Cost depends on the turf grade you choose, the size and shape of the area, ground preparation needed, and whether it's a landscape or certified sports installation. Because of these variables, we don't publish flat rates online - instead we offer a free site visit or virtual consultation and give you a firm, itemised quote based on your actual project.
A small balcony or garden can often be turfed in a day, while larger landscape projects or full sports fields typically take from a few days to a few weeks depending on ground preparation, drainage work and area. We confirm an exact timeline once we've assessed your site.
Our process runs in three stages: consultation and design, where we assess your space and recommend the right turf; professional installation, covering base preparation, drainage, laying and finishing; and aftercare, where our team supports you with maintenance guidance after handover.
Yes. We offer a free quote and, for most Mumbai locations, a free site visit so we can measure the space, check drainage and ground conditions, and recommend the right turf before you commit. Share your project details through our contact form or WhatsApp to arrange one.
Yes. We work with architects, landscapers, developers, hotels, schools and sports academies on bulk supply and large-scale installation projects, in addition to individual home and garden orders. Select "Bulk Purchase" or mention your commercial requirement when you enquire, so it reaches the right specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Care & Warranty

Life expectancy depends on the turf grade, how much footfall or play it sees, and how well it's maintained - with UV-stabilised landscape and sports turf built for multi-year, year-round outdoor use. We'll advise on expected lifespan for your specific product and use case when we quote your project.
Routine care is minimal: rinse off dust and debris, brush the fibres occasionally to keep the pile upright, and hose away pet mess as needed. There's no mowing, watering or fertilising required - which is the main reason customers switch from natural grass. We also offer aftercare support for larger installations.
Yes, we provide aftercare and maintenance support as part of every installation, and warranty terms are confirmed in writing with your quote, since they vary by turf grade and project type. Ask our team for the specific warranty coverage on the product you're considering.
The fastest way is to message us on WhatsApp or call +91 98332 14552, or fill in the enquiry form on our Contact Us page with your project location, approximate area and turf type. Our team typically responds with next steps and, where useful, arranges a free site visit.
