Abstract
A porous concrete block divided into small pieces for human handling was applied to the base of roof gardens. Effects of the surface shape of the block on the germination and growth of lawn were investigated. It was found that the plant growth on the porous concrete-based roof garden may be improved when the block has a surface layer with a total porosity more than 36 percent.
