Definitions

contrasting artificial turf fibers are used to provide a visual marking which is visible with respect to the natural grass plants.
the holes have a diameter that is less than 10 mm in diameter.
the diameter of the holes is greater than any one of the following: 6 mm, 4 mm, and 3 mm.
This embodiment may be beneficial because it may enable earthworms to travel through the holes and enable aeration of the portion of the turf surface which includes the artificial turf visual marking element.
the holes are described as having a diameter it is understood that holes do not have to have a round shape.
the "diameter" of a hole is descriptive of the size of a round or cylindrical object which can pass through the hole. For example the holes having a "diameter" of 10 mm means that a round object with a diameter of more than 10 mm will not pass through the hole.
the turf surface is a sport or playing field. This embodiment may be beneficial because artificial turf markings such as lines or other indicators are often necessary for a sport to be played properly.
the artificial turf backing comprises any one of the following: a woven fabric, a plastic material with punched holes, and a non-woven fabric.
the non-woven fabric and the woven fabric may have holes due to the textile nature of their construction.
Fig. 3 illustrates a further example of an artificial turf visual marking element
