Rooftop, patio and balcony turf
Green space where soil, irrigation and weight limits make a real lawn impossible.
Green space where soil, irrigation and weight limits make a real lawn impossible.
Some spaces will never hold a lawn. A concrete patio, a second-floor balcony, a rooftop terrace with a weight limit, a courtyard with no drainage to speak of. Turf gives all of them a green surface without soil, irrigation or structural load.
Turf over concrete, pavers or decking is a different build from a ground installation. There is no excavation and no aggregate base. Instead we install a drainage layer or foam underlay that lets water reach the existing drains, then secure the turf with adhesive at the perimeter and seams.
The critical detail is that the existing surface must already drain. Turf will not fix a patio that ponds; it will hide it. We check slope and drainage before quoting, and if the substrate has a problem we tell you rather than covering it.
Turf with a foam underlay adds roughly one to two pounds per square foot — negligible against planters, furniture or people. For rooftops with documented load limits we provide the specification for your engineer or building management.
Balcony turf can be laid loose and cut to fit rather than glued, which makes it removable at the end of a lease. Worth mentioning at the estimate if you rent.
Narrow side yards between houses are one of our most common small jobs. They get no sun, they hold water, grass has never grown there, and they are usually the muddiest part of the property. Two hundred square feet of turf solves a problem that has been annoying you for years.
Small installations carry a higher per-square-foot rate because setup and mobilisation spread across less area. A typical 150 to 300 square foot patio or balcony runs $1,800 to $4,500. Pricing detail.
