    The document provides guidelines for three lightweight roof garden systems from Fytogreen Australia using different soil mixes: 1) 50% sand-based mix with saturated bulk density of 1200kg/m3 2) 30% sand-based mix with saturated bulk density of 950kg/m3 3) Blower mix with 30% coarse sand and saturated bulk density of 900kg/m3 For each system, the document outlines soil layer depths and resulting total weights for different plant types from turf to large trees. Total depths range from 245mm to 945mm with total weights from 212kg/m2 to 1045kg/m2 depending on the plant type and soil mix.

    50% SAND BASED LIGHTWEIGHT ROOF GARDEN GUIDELINES

    Fytogreen Australia’s lightweight roof garden system works to the following depth
    and saturated weight guidelines.
    The soil mix is 50% washed sand, 40% Hydrocell flakes and 10% composted organic matter by volume.

    Saturated bulk density is 1200 kg/m3 TREES


    Large to 12 metres

    Layer 5: Root Anchor Layer- HDPE netting with holes of 5 x 5 mm.Thickness 2 mm, weight negligible.(only under trees)
    Layer 4: Hydrocell Hardfoam RG30-100mm thick. 84kg/m2 (80kg water and 4 kg hardfoam)
    Compressive strength 23,000kg psm, Product life 25 years without maintenance.
