Abstract:
A turf product matting comprising a fibrous material in combination with a reinforcing mesh for giving directional stability thereto, and turf located above the fibrous material and the reinforcing mesh with its root system passing thereinto, the turf being pre-grown turf having is roots washed free of soil, initially being located on the surface of the fibrous material, the root mass being permitted to grow and pass through the fibrous material and the reinforcing mesh onto an impervious surface which acts as a barrier to root transmission, so that the roots tend to mat above said impervious surface for providing, in combination with the fibrous material and the reinforcing mesh, structural rigidity for enabling the turf product to be readily moved to its required location, at which the root mass passes into an underlying surface.
