uneven surface

Not flat ground

An uneven surface lacks uniformity or smoothness—it has bumps, dips, ridges, or irregularities rather than being flat or level.

The phrase appears constantly on warning signs alerting pedestrians to potential tripping hazards: Caution: uneven surface.

It also describes terrain, flooring, or any physical plane that isn't consistent: The uneven surface made it hard to set up the tent.
