ABSTRACT:
An improved surface includes a foundation constructed of a subgrade and a sub-base. A synthetic turf is positioned atop the foundation and includes synthetic grass blades secured to a backing. The synthetic turf also includes a surface layer of material supported by the backing and intermixed with the synthetic grass blades. Natural grass is planted in the surface layer of material wherein the natural grass includes natural grass blades and roots. The backing is provided with perforations sufficient in number to permit the roots of the natural grass to extend through the backing into the sub-base of the foundation. The natural grass improves the overall desirability of the surface by improving its durability, increasing its life span, reducing the cost of installation, reducing the cost of maintenance, and improving the benefits to the ecology.
