APOLOGIES IF I MAY NOT POST IMAGES HERE

Something like the image below?

Here's the code - translate and scale to your needs.

#ifdef (show_ground)

  #declare Ground =
  isosurface {
    function {y - f_snoise3d(x/7, 0, z/2)*0.5}
    threshold 0
    max_gradient 1.1
    contained_by {box {<-100,-3,-100>, < 100, 1, 100>}}

    texture {
      pigment {color rgb < 1, 0.9, 0.65>}
      normal {granite 0.2 scale 0.02}
      finish {
        brilliance 0.5
        specular 0.1
        //diffuse 0.3
        //ambient 0.3
      }
    }
  }

  object 
  {
    Ground

    rotate <90,0,45>
    translate <50,-20,0>
  }
