Green Roof Types & Systems
We customize green roof solutions to fit your specific needs, building structure, and aesthetic preferences. Discover the various systems we expertly implement:
Extensive Green Roofs
Designed for minimal structural load, these systems feature shallow growing media and robust, low-maintenance plants like sedums and grasses. Ideal for large areas where access is limited, they require infrequent irrigation and provide excellent ecological benefits.
- Low maintenance and lightweight
- Cost-effective stormwater management
Intensive Green Roofs
These systems accommodate a wider variety of plants, including shrubs, trees, and even small water features, requiring deeper growing media and more structural support. Ideal for creating accessible rooftop parks, urban gardens, or amenity spaces that significantly enhance property value and quality of life.
- High ecological and amenity value
- Creates vibrant urban green spaces
We also offer semi-intensive systems, modular green roof options, and integrate living walls for holistic urban greening.
Environmental Benefits & Urban Impact
Stormwater Management
Green roofs significantly reduce stormwater runoff, alleviating pressure on drainage systems and improving water quality by filtering pollutants.
Improved Air Quality
Vegetation filters airborne particulates and pollutants, contributing to cleaner, healthier urban air.
Mitigate Urban Heat Island Effect
Green roofs reduce surface temperatures and cool the surrounding air through evapotranspiration, combating urban heat islands.
Enhanced Biodiversity
They create new habitats for insects, birds, and beneficial microorganisms, supporting urban ecological diversity.
Carbon Sequestration
Plants absorb carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts and a greener planet.
Noise Reduction
The substrate and vegetation layers act as natural sound barriers, reducing noise pollution in urban environments.
Building Performance & Energy Efficiency
Beyond environmental benefits, green roofs offer substantial advantages for building performance and long-term operational costs:
- Superior Thermal Insulation: Green roofs provide an extra layer of insulation, keeping buildings cooler in summer and warmer in winter, leading to significant energy savings.
- Reduced HVAC Loads: By moderating roof temperatures, green roofs lessen the demand on heating and cooling systems, contributing to lower utility bills and smaller carbon footprints.
- Increased Roof Lifespan: Protecting the roof membrane from UV radiation and extreme temperature fluctuations, a green roof can effectively double or even triple the life of your roofing system.
- Enhanced Property Value: Buildings with green roofs are increasingly sought after for their sustainability, aesthetic appeal, and lower operating costs, leading to higher property valuations.
Green Roof Design & Installation
Our meticulous process ensures every green roof project is a success, from initial assessment to final installation and beyond. We manage every detail with precision and expertise:
1. Feasibility & Structural Assessment
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your building's structural capacity, existing roof conditions, and drainage systems to determine the optimal green roof type.
2. Custom Design & Material Selection
Our experts design a system tailored to your aesthetic, functional requirements, and local climate. We select appropriate waterproofing, drainage layers, growing media, and plant species.
3. Professional Installation
Our certified team meticulously installs each layer of the green roof system, ensuring proper layering, root barrier integrity, and efficient irrigation for long-term health.
4. Plant Establishment & Care
We guide you on initial plant establishment care and offer long-term maintenance plans to ensure your green roof thrives and provides maximum benefits for years to come.
5. Permitting & Compliance Assistance
We assist with navigating local regulations and securing necessary permits, ensuring your green roof project complies with all building codes and environmental standards.
