Does live turf need insulation from roof heat?
A major benefit of a grass/turf or otherwise &quot;green plants&quot; or &quot;living&quot; roof is that you don't have the heat of a typical roof in the sunshine. Storm Water management is an additional benefit to the municipality. Both can result in significant financial incentives/tax breaks as a result.
&quot;Needing to remove it when you move&quot; sounds dubious - this is not a temporary thing easily rolled up and taken away, at least if it's done right. If you don't own the roof, it's unwise to get into this, and if you do own the roof, you sell the green roof with the building (or condo, I guess.)
