What are Green Roofs?

Green Roofs are a smart way to replace the naturally occurring vegetation lost to human development – particularly important in our expanding cities and suburbs in the United States. Not only does the simple act of growing live plants on your roof help mitigate your building’s carbon footprint, it’s a great way to create a livable, private, and enjoyable outdoor space for your family or tenants to enjoy for years to come!

Green Roofs are shown to add a variety of visually appealing and eco-friendly benefits to your property, in addition to the added financial benefit of lowered heating and cooling costs associated with green roof eco design.

Here are just a few of the benefits of Green Roof installations:

• Improves stormwater management by reducing runoff and improving water quality[i]
• Conserves energy inside your building by providing a natural heat barrier
• Increases longevity of, and improves the return on investment to, your roof membrane
• Reduces noise and air pollution
• Mitigates carbon footprints
• Adds to the biodiversity of your neighborhood by providing natural habitats for local wildlife (such as bees, birds, and more!)
• Provides a beautiful, private outdoor social space for gardening or just relaxing, while enjoying the city skyline views
