What Is a Green Roof?
A green roof (or “living roof”) is a flat or slightly pitched roof covered with layers of vegetation, soil, and waterproofing. It transforms unused roof space into a thriving natural surface that benefits both your property and the environment.
There are two main types of green roofs:
- Extensive systems: Lightweight and low-maintenance, using shallow soil with hardy plants such as sedums and mosses.
- Intensive systems: Deeper soil that supports grass, shrubs, and even small trees – perfect for roof gardens and landscaped spaces.
