Artificial Grass on a Balcony
Turf on a balcony or rooftop terrace: what Artificial Grass & Landscaping sells for it, what its catalog says about the adhesive, and what to check with your building first. Prices as of November 10, 2026.
Can you put artificial grass on a balcony?
It can be done where the building allows it. Artificial Grass & Landscaping sells turf cut to length from 7.5 ft wide, DC5 turf adhesive, whose catalog description lists concrete, wood and rubber tiles among the surfaces it bonds to, and seaming tape. This page gives no load or building ratings: check your building and HOA rules first.
| Product | What it is for | Size | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Always Green turf | Lawn or putting turf, cut to length | From 7.5 ft wide | From $1.49 per sq ft |
| Synthetic Turf Glue / Adhesive DC5 (1 Gallon) | One-part, moisture-cure urethane turf adhesive | 1 gallon | $79.95 |
| Synthetic Turf Glue / Adhesive DC5 (5 Gallon) | The same adhesive in the larger pail | 5 gallons | $339.00 |
| Seaming Tape C145 (12" x 330 ft) | Tape laid under the join between two pieces of turf, glued to both | 12 in x 330 ft roll | $129.00 |
What should you check before putting turf on a balcony?
Four things: what your lease, building or HOA allows on a balcony or rooftop terrace; what the surface is; whether anything may be glued to it; and how the turf gets up there. Artificial Grass & Landscaping delivers to the curb, and its catalog gives no load rating, so ask the building's owner or manager.
- The rules. A lease, building or HOA may say what can go on a balcony and whether anything may be glued to it: ask the owner or manager before you buy.
- The surface. The adhesive's catalog description lists road base, decomposed granite, concrete, asphalt, wood, rubber tiles and foam padding or underlayments; pavers, stone and ceramic tile are not on that list.
- The load. The catalog gives no weight for a roll or a cut piece and no load rating, and this page gives none: ask the building's owner or manager what a balcony may carry.
- Getting it there. Deliveries are curbside: drivers do not move turf onto the property, so arrange help to carry a roll or cut piece upstairs.
- What California law says about HOA rules on artificial turf: California artificial grass laws.
How much turf does a balcony need?
A small one still buys the shortest cut. Artificial Grass & Landscaping cuts lawn turf from 15 ft long and putting turf from 10 ft, 7.5 ft wide at the narrowest, so a 6 ft x 12 ft balcony costs $167.63 to $622.05 in turf, cut to length, depending on the turf, as of November 10, 2026.

How is artificial grass held down on a balcony?
Artificial Grass & Landscaping's catalog gives two products for fixing and joining turf on a hard surface: DC5 turf adhesive, $79.95 for 1 gallon or $339.00 for 5 gallons, and seaming tape, $129.00 for a 12 in x 330 ft roll. It gives no coverage rate for the adhesive and does not describe laying turf loose.
- The catalog describes the adhesive as a “one part moisture cure urethane adhesive” that does not require any mixing or preparation to use and contains no acetone or solvents.
- Read the directions on the adhesive container, and ask your building before gluing anything to a balcony.
- Gluing turf to concrete, in outline: artificial grass on a patio.

Ask your building first. Artificial Grass & Landscaping's DC5 turf adhesive is described in its catalog as bonding to road base, decomposed granite, concrete, asphalt, wood, rubber tiles and foam padding or underlayments. The catalog gives no coverage rate, and this page gives no load rating.
