is it possible to lay grass over a concrete slab provided it has drainage holes drilled through to the hardcore beneath. Not too worried about how it looks as for children & dogs to play on. thanks

if its artificial grass ,real grass will just die over that surface turf needs at least 12-15 inches of good soil beneath it for a long lasting lawn

You cant lay grass over a concrete slab, it needs to be laid on top soil.

The two replys you have are correct, it is possible if you supply good drainage and add soil to the concrete to at least a foot in depth then turf would grow. it may get a bit soft in wet weather though as it would take longer to drain.
