grass strip

Narrow turf section

A grass strip is a narrow area of maintained grass, often serving a specific purpose.

In aviation, it's an unpaved runway covered with turf rather than asphalt or concrete: The bush pilot landed on a remote grass strip.

In landscaping, it refers to the strip of lawn between a sidewalk and street, also called a tree lawn or verge.

Grass strips along waterways or fields help control erosion and filter runoff.
