Grass for roof top lawn (From Ali Raza)

Post by khabbab »

Dear All,
I wonder anyone could assist me in selection of grass for roof top lawn. I have read the queries and their answers available at this forum but none of the information could address my query.
The issue is that I have hired a professional lawn developer for developing a lawn at the roof top of my residence. The person I have hired for this job prefers placement of American grass and on the other side friends are suggesting Korean one. Please advice in selection of grass for roof top lawn with pros and cons, please.

Regards,
Ali

Ali Raza,

You have a similar problem as myself..... only I am looking for some advice on grass selection (between american & korean) for my backyard lawn

Let's see what do the experts say....... I am sure the advice for one would be good for the other, too

Best of luck

sharing my experience......i just installed grass in my lawn(not a roof top).....available grasses where korean, american, china, local and panch dhaka..........korean was dense but very rough....not suitable for bare foot walking :-)......i saw the samples for all and as advised by the experts available here....panch dhaka appeared best.....it is soft, dense and very fast growing to an extent that it is said to be invasive.....its been ten days and already its covering a greater area.....i have heard that it is very suitable for karachi enviroment..........
