Lawn on a roof terrace?
"JK" wrote in message after Bob Hobden replied 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. -- Regards Bob Some photos of my plants at..... |
