ABSTRACT:
A pre-formed synthetic turf module (10) includes a base tray (12), a flexible backing sheet (36) tufted with synthetic ribbons simulating grass blades, and a granular media infill material (40) in the voids between the ribbons, the tufted backing sheet and infill material being supported on the base tray so that a plurality of the modules may be installed side-by-side to form a media-filled synthetic turf surface. Each module may also include a peripheral wall (14) which is removed during the installation. A method of installing a synthetic turf surface, and the installation of heating elements (50) in the surface, are also disclosed.
