For Private Gardens

• Remove leaves and organic debris regularly.
• Check low areas after heavy rainfall.
• Keep drainage paths clear.
• Clean pet-waste areas promptly.
• Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the turf.
• Inspect seams and edges periodically.

For Rooftops

• Clean roof drains regularly.
• Remove leaves and debris before they accumulate.
• Inspect perimeter fixing after severe weather.
• Check the waterproofing system periodically.
• Avoid placing heavy objects without verifying the additional load.
• Do not drill or penetrate the roof without approval from the roof-system designer.
• Inspect drainage after major storms.

Is Non-Infill Artificial Turf Better Than Natural Grass for a Rooftop?

The comparison depends on what the project is trying to achieve.

Natural grass requires soil or a dedicated growing medium, irrigation, drainage and ongoing horticultural maintenance. An artificial turf system can provide a green visual surface without requiring the same type of growing medium or routine mowing.

However, artificial turf does not solve structural or waterproofing issues automatically.

For a rooftop project, the more useful question is:

Can the complete artificial-turf system satisfy the roof’s structural, waterproofing, drainage and wind requirements?

If the answer is yes, non-infill turf can be a practical rooftop landscaping option.
