Useful to know
Good to know: loads, waterproofing & drainage
Everything on a roof is a structural and a waterproofing decision first, and a planting decision second.
How much weight can the roof take?
Ask a structural engineer before drawing anything. An intensive roof garden can reach 300–500 kg/m² once saturated; a lightweight extensive scheme stays at 80–150 kg/m². Saturated weight, not dry weight, is the number that matters.
What protects the waterproofing?
A root barrier membrane laid over the waterproofing, plus a protection board. Flood-test the roof for 48 hours before a single layer goes on top — finding a leak afterwards means lifting the entire garden.
How does a roof garden drain?
A dimpled drainage board holds a little water and passes the rest, with a geotextile above it so soil never reaches the outlets. Keep every drain inspectable — a blocked outlet under 300 mm of substrate is invisible until the ceiling below stains.
Why not use ordinary garden soil?
Because it is heavy and it compacts. Engineered lightweight substrates using perlite, pumice and coir cut the weight 30–40% and keep air in the root zone, which is exactly what compaction destroys.
How does wind change the design?
Wind speed at upper levels runs 20–30% higher than at ground. Anchor planters and shade structures, keep planting low and broad-rooted, and avoid loose gravel near a parapet — anything that can move eventually will.
What irrigation works on a roof?
Drip on a timer with a rain sensor, zoned separately from the ground-level garden. Evaporation on an exposed roof is far higher, and a rooftop bed dries out in a fraction of the time the same planting would at ground level.
