Is it possible to lay a lawn on a roof terrace? How would one do it? I
imagine drainage would be an issue, but maybe there's a way round it.


Do an internet search on "green roofs", lots of details there, it's very
popular on the continent for new buildings and will get more so here
idc.
Less long-term environmental damage.



That's interesting, but it all seems to be about having a green roof
that looks nice and is good for all sorts of reasons, but not one that
is covered in grass for walking aorund and having barbies on!


Same principles apply but you would need to use hard wearing type grass turf
just as you would for a lawn for similar use.
Drainage shouldn't be a problem if it's not a problem on the terrace at the
moment, after all the grass will take up a lot of the moisture anyway.
I trust you have checked that the terrace can take the extra weight of all
the soil and grass especially when wet? And you will need to mow it, feed
it, care for it, just like any lawn.
