An improved surface includes a synthetic turf base (104) positioned atop a foundation (102). The synthetic turf base (104) includes imitation grass blades (110) secured to a backing (112). The synthetic turf base (104) also includes a surface layer of material (118) supported by the backing (112j and intermixed with the imitation grass blades (110). Natural grass (120) is planted in the surface layer of material wherein the natural grass (120) includes natural grass blades (122) and roots (124). The backing (112) is provided with perforations or openings sufficient in number to permit the roots (124) of the natural grass to extend through the backing into the sub-base (108) of the foundation (102). The natural grass (128) 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, improving comfort for users, and improving the benefits to the ecology.
Surface améliorée comprenant une couche de gazon synthétique (104) superposée à un fondement (102). La couche de gazon synthétique (104) comprend des brins d'herbe factices (110) fixés à un support (112). En outre, la couche de gazon synthétique (104) comprend une couche superficielle de matière (118) portée par le support (112) et mêlée aux brins d'herbe factices (110). De l'herbe naturelle (120) est plantée dans la couche superficielle de matière et comprend des brins d'herbe (122) et des racines (124) naturels. Le support (112) est pourvu de perforations ou d'orifices suffisament nombreux (nombreuses) pour permettre aux racines (124) de l'herbe naturelle de traverser le support et de pénétrer dans la couche inférieure (108) du fondement (102). L'herbe naturelle (128) rend la surface plus intéressante puisqu'elle améliore sa résistance à l'usure, prolonge sa durée de vie utile, et en réduit les frais de mise en place et d'entretien; en outre, elle améliore le confort de ses utilisateurs et la rend plus écophile.
