artificial grass on flat roof? Yay or Nay?
Comments (5)Nay, would look a bit plastic and garish. Suggest simulated metal roof GRP trims are added on top and sealed over. Two trims available, mock lead or mock standing seam. Google Polyroof and simulated metal, should come up with a few images. You could have the trims angled at 45 degrees to maki it look more interesting. Possibly go for a darker grey / lead colour top coat....See Moreartificial grass on flat roof? Yay or Nay?
Comments (2)Ooh, I forgot to say that I would like to walk on the roof, so would need something that can tolerate shoes!...See MoreHave you chosen artificial grass over real turf?
Comments (19)Jonathan, that really does look like real turf. I am no brill gardener but don't mind the tasks. Less maintenance works for me as I can't be at the property all the time. What suppliers did you use? I am getting local quotes from http://www.yourjobcost.co.uk/laying-artificial-grass-cost/ but yet to choose. That said, one is from a supplier only a few miles away....See MoreDecorative edging along fence/around Artificial grass
Comments (7)I see what you mean about the gap between concrete and fence and the potential for weeds to creep through from neighboring gardens. I’m constantly in battle with next doors ivy:(. So yes I think raising the borders would be a good idea but as Sonia has pointed out that trees and shrubs will be far better planted in the ground rather than in a planter. I think a raised bed would be an ideal solution. The only issue is that any soil which is next wood will cause it to rot and create more problems for the fence, easily solved by lining the wood with some heavy duty plastic sheet. Just cut a section so it covers the wood and able to let water drain in the ground, then at the front edge of the border (next to the grass) you could use whatever decorative edging you like. Once it’s filled in with soil/compost this will cover the concrete and give a nice uniform look. If you want to use weed proof membrane and pebbles then that’s fine but cut a hole for any trees/shrubs so the roots can use the ground soil. Also, if you use bark chips as a top layer this makes it much easier to pull out any airborne weeds such as dandelions. Here’s some inspiration (notice on the second pic the plastic backing next to fence). Hope this helps a little:)...See More- 11 years ago
