- the surface support structure 10 can be employed on and/or within various surfaces to serve as a reinforcing paver with fully integrated flexibility to follow accurately ground topography and offering easy installation performance.
- the various surfaces include but are not limited to outdoor ground surfaces and roof or indoor surfaces having turf grass, soil, dirt and/or gravel.
- the surface support structure 10 can be implemented on and/or within any desired surface.
- multiple surface support structures 10 are employed on and/or within the ground surface.
- the surface support structure 10 can inhibit migration and/or erosion of the ground surface, and provide traction support and/or load weight support of the ground surface. Additionally, the open configuration of the surface support structure 10, which is discussed further below, allows for proper storm precipitation management so that precipitation can drain through the surface support structure 10 to inhibit the ground surface flooding.
- the surface support structure 10 can move in any direction along the x-axis X, the y-axis Y, and/or the z-axis Z to fit on and/or within different topographies of various ground surfaces.
- the surface support structure 10 is installed on top of an existing a ground surface, such as turf grass, so that the turf grass can grow around the surface support structure 10.

As with the example surface support structures 10 illustrated in Figures 1-5, nine integrally formed cells 12 may be injection molded in a single shot molding process of the surface support structure 10. As illustrated in Figure 6, six integrally formed cells 12 may be formed as one surface support structure 10. However, it should be understood that the number of cells 12 can vary as desired. In at least the illustrated embodiment, the cells 12 may be oriented along the x-axis X and the y-axis Y as illustrated in Figure 1, and may form a square having an equal amount of cells 12 displaced along the x-axis X and the y-axis Y.

- the cells 12 of the surface support structure 10 are integrally formed out of a plastic material, such as a polyethylene.
- a plastic material such as a polyethylene.
- Polyethylene is a suitable material for the cells 12 of the surface support structure 10 as it is a relatively strong material that retains shape while being elastic to allow for some movement of each cell 12 of the surface support structure 10.
- a flexible material may be employed to form the cells 12 of the support structure 10, the configuration of the cells 12 of the surface support structure 10, discussed below, allow the surface support structure 10 to move.

- the upright walls 14, 15 may have any desired thickness. Since the upright walls 14, 15 of each cell may be integrally formed with upright walls 14, 15 of adjacent cells, material costs are reduced. In one embodiment, the upright walls 14, 15 may have a heights of two and a half centimeters. In another embodiment, the upright walls 14, 15 may have a heights of five centimeters. In yet another embodiment, the upright walls 14, 15 have a height of seven centimeters. In still another embodiment, the upright walls 14, 15 have a height of one centimeter. Of course, any suitable height for the upright walls 14, 15 is contemplated within the scope of the disclosed embodiments.
- each upright wall 14, 15 includes a recessed portion 16 defining a recess therein.
- the recessed portions 16 forms a portion of each upright wall 14, 15 to allow movement in along the x-axis X, the y-axis Y and the z-axis Z, which allows each cell 12 to be flexible.
- each upright wall 14, 15 is illustrated with a recessed portion 16, recessed portions 16 may not be formed within each upright wall 14, 15.

- the recessed portions 16 may have any desired thickness and may be the same as the thickness of the upright walls 14, 15 or may be different.
- the recessed portions 16 may have various shapes within the surface support structure 10.
- any suitable shape, orientation and/or thickness for the recessed portions 16 that allow for movement of the cell 12 is contemplated within the scope of the disclosed embodiments.

- any suitable recessed portion 16 and/or 17 is contemplated within the scope of the disclosed embodiments.
- the upright walls 14, 15 and/or the recessed portions 16 have a texture formed thereon.
- the texture may be indentations, bumps, and/or wrinkles that are formed within sides and/or tops of the upright walls 14, 15 and/or the recessed portions 16 to increase a coefficient of friction for each upright wall 14, 15 and recessed portion 16.
- the increased coefficient of friction may provide better traction for pedestrians, animals, and/or vehicles when on the surface support structure 10.
- each cell 12 of the surface support structure 10 described herein integrates rigid elements, upright walls 14, 15, and flexible elements, recessed portions 16, into a single design to create a continuous flexible surface support structure 10 capable of fully undulating.
- a continuous flexible surface support structure 10 is moveable within each cell 12 at each recessed portion 16 along the x-axis X, the y-axis Y, and the z-axis Z, as depicted in Figure 1.
- the surface support structure 10 can be laid out on the ground surface following natural topography of the ground surface because each recessed portion 16 of each cell 12 can move along the x-axis X, the y-axis Y, and the z-axis Z. Installation is improved because the ground surface does not need to be completely flattened and the surface support structures 10 can be extended and/or contracted to fit the natural topography of the ground surface. Also, when installing the surface support structures 10 on surfaces having boundaries that may be non-straight, the surface support structures 10 can expand and/or contract to fit as necessary. Thus, cutting of the surface support structures 10 is not required, saving time and money.
- the surface support structure 10 will further accommodate any underlying ground movement and/or settling to improve durability of the surface support structures 10 and to avoid damages caused by loads applied on spots where voids could have been formed under the surface support structure 10. Additionally, the surface support structure 10 is continuously flexible since the surface support structure 10 has upright walls 14, 15 with a small thickness and including recessed portions 16, so that the surface support structure 10 can move along the x-axis X, the y-axis y, and the z-axis z.
