Let’s start right away with the question of flooring. The floor covering of a garden or terrace in the city is most often tiled or wood. For the exterior tiles, you can choose, depending on the style of decoration you prefer, between several shades and aspects of the tiles, including an imitation wood exterior tile that is a good solution for those who like the look of the wood, but prefer to have a tile floor covering. If, on the other hand, you prefer a wooden deck, here are some tips that will allow you to make sure that your flooring will be aesthetic and durable. According to the opinion of specialists in the layout of wooden terraces, this material has the advantage of visually transforming your outdoor space. Not only is it natural and very durable when installed properly, but it can enlarge the space visually. This tip is particularly useful for terraces and gardens on the roofs of buildings in town because, as we know, they are often small. Additional advice for the choice of flooring for your urban terrace: think about the lighting too, because it is often placed at the time of the installation of the flooring, so that if you want to have a good lighting for the evenings outside, you should make the choice at that time.

For a more interesting and aesthetically pleasing terrace floor in the city, you can also play with a mix of different materials. This option can give very nice results and also serve to delimit different spaces in your rooftop garden. It is therefore a good choice if you want to build a roof garden with a seating area and a summer kitchen area, for example. Similarly, the combination of two materials can be used to delimit a garden space from that of a living room, etc. If you choose this option for the flooring of your patio in the city, know that you can increase its effect by creating several levels in the garden. Thus, a rooftop garden can have a first level with tile flooring and a second level, higher, wood. You will find ideas for the flooring of this type in the photos that we offer. To finish with the subject of the flooring, let us also remember that the rooftop garden can be decorated with turf or grass and other materials. This kind of flooring can be useful for roof terraces that have a play area for children or those decorated in Zen style, for example.

If you want to create a nice garden on the roof of your building, here are some ideas of plants that are suitable for this type of development. The dogwood of Japan is a kind of tree with pretty flowers. Originally from Asia, this plant has the advantage of having the appearance of a tree without being too large. It is ideal for a roof garden! Another kind of tree, perfect for roof terraces, is the hazel tree. Like the Japanese dogwood, this tree can be grown in large flowerpots, which will prevent it from growing too fast. A suitable shrub for urban rooftop gardens is Japanese cypress, also called “cypress hinoki”. This plant grows very slowly and, even at its mature age, it is no higher than about one meter. In addition, it fits very well in different floral compositions. The plants of the astilbe genus, also very used in Asia, are another good idea for a successful rooftop garden. To complete this green set, you can use one or more large-leafed plants like hostas that need to be placed in a shaded part of your terrace because they do not like to be exposed directly to the sun’s rays.
