How to decorate the roof garden?

Plants in the garden can choose beautiful, short, shallow-rooted, wind-resistant flowering shrubs, small trees, bulbous flowers and perennial flowers. This kind of plants have strong permeability to waterproof layer, so it is enough to choose planting type according to soil depth.

For the garden on the top floor, the structural design is basically completed, but the weight that can be borne is the premise that needs to be considered. If the weight design of the top-floor garden exceeds the design load of the top of the building, the roof structure will be in a dangerous state at any time, which is the taboo of the top-floor garden design.

wind resistance

Shelves are often used when placing flower pots on the roof. In this regard, it is necessary to consider the windproof performance of the shelf. There is wind on the roof. If it is windy, will the shelf where the flowerpots are placed be harmful?

Waterproof and drainage

Under normal circumstances, drainage pipes will be set up to make the roof waterproof. However, if the garden design is carried out on the top floor without reasonable waterproof and drainage, it will lead to problems such as water accumulation on the roof, water leakage caused by plant roots destroying the waterproof layer, and flooding of roof plants.

The roof greening design should consider the organized drainage of the roof, and it is necessary to lay a special drainage board for the roof garden between the roof and the planting soil. The special drainage board for roof garden does not hinder the free drainage of the roof, and has partial water storage function to keep the moisture of roof plants.
