Answer 2When you got to the nursery to purchase the grass, ask the person there. I would imagine that some grasses grow deeper roots than others.
Answer 3you didnt specify how much concrete you actually have in your depends on what type of grass youre need a little depth if growing kikuyu for they have a deep root blue grass or buffalo grass are a great one for shallow depends also of what drainage you have considered for the amount of concrete and would the soil wash are drought tolerant and withstand shade and dont you ask a turf farmer to get a proffessional answer.
Answer 44 to 8" inches on concrete but first allow water to drain because plants/grass dont like soak soil there roots rot or fungus may set in and kill youre lawn,, the drainage system cover it with felt and pebbles before putting youre soil,....
Answer 5Four to six inches.
Answer 6Concrete has lime in it. In North Carolina I had drains in the back yard, I planted ivy and let it cover the drains and kept it contained by mowing the edges, it was really quite pretty and no soil needed, plant the ivy around the edges of the pipes.
Answer 7First, lay a level of sand 1 inch deep for drainage. lay a 2 inch layer of soil, for your grass to grow for the next few years. I presume you are going to use turf. Sprinkle sod starter. Good Luck, Water until well established. Fall is a great time to establish a new lawn. Measure your property for the guys in the yard, they will know how much material you will need. Doesn't sound like you should need more than about 4 yards of soil or so. Really need some measurments. Most likely a pallet load of turf. Bertram. 35 years gardening +.
