Above ground, the blade structure is finer than one might expect for such a tough plant. This creates a dense canopy that crowds out weeds and provides a uniform playing surface. The density is the key; a cleat or shoe slides across the top rather than tearing through the soil, which is essential for athlete safety and surface longevity.
