Vegetative roofing systems, also known as green roofs, incorporate live plants and landscaping elements on top of waterproofing and drainage layers. These systems not only create an eco-friendly, visually appealing environment but also deliver numerous practical benefits—such as reducing urban heat, improving insulation, managing stormwater runoff, and enhancing air quality. Whether it’s an extensive (low-maintenance) or intensive (lush and garden-like) green roof, we specialize in designing and installing vegetative systems that balance sustainability with structural integrity and performance.
Vegetative roofs typically use drought-tolerant, low-maintenance plants such as sedums, grasses, and wildflowers, depending on the roof’s exposure and structural support.
Not all buildings can support the weight of a green roof. A structural assessment is required to ensure the building can handle the added load of soil, plants, and retained water.
Yes—though extensive green roofs require minimal upkeep, all vegetative roofs benefit from periodic inspections, irrigation checks, and weeding to stay healthy and functional.
