Abstract:
A method and system for providing an artificial turf edge. In one embodiment, the method includes: providing a first layer of base material along a perimeter of the artificial turf area; placing at least one raised border piece on top of the first layer of base material and thereafter securing the at least one raised border piece to the first layer of base material, wherein the at least one raised border piece includes a main wall that extends upwardly and at a predetermined angle away from an external surface adjacent to the artificial turf area; providing a second layer of base material over at least a portion of the first layer of base material, wherein the second layer of base material is confined by the at least one raised border; placing an artificial turf material over the second layer of base material and over the main wall; and securing the artificial turf material to the second layer of base material and the at least one raised border piece, wherein a level of the second layer of base material confined by the at least one raised border piece is higher than a level of the external surface.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of forming a raised, inclined edge for an artificial turf area, the method comprising:\n providing a first layer of base material within the artificial turf area; placing at least one raised border piece on top of the first layer of base material; securing the at least one raised border piece to the first layer of base material, wherein the at least one raised border piece includes a main wall that extends upwardly and away from an external top surface adjacent to the artificial turf area at a first predetermined angle; providing a second layer of base material over at least a portion of the first layer of base material; securing the at least one raised border piece to the second layer of base material; placing an artificial turf material over the second layer of base material and over the main surface of the at least one raised border piece; and securing the artificial turf material to the second layer of base material and the at least one raised border piece, wherein the artificial turf material comprises a plurality of artificial turf blades that extend outwardly and away from the main surface, and wherein a level of the second layer of base material confined behind the at least one raised border piece is higher than the external top surface.
