Green roof construction

Green roofs can be anything you put your mind to - they can be waste reduction, biodiversity generation, food production, energy reduction, stormwater management and of course a source of beauty, all through creating a garden on a roof.

Green roofs are typically installed in layers - drainage cell, filtration fabrics, growing media and plants are the bare minimum - with insulation, root barriers, protections layers and irrigation are often included as well. Plants are generally planted specialised growing media and the layers are installed over a waterproof membrane to prevent leaks through to the building envelope.

Greenly can help you with design, construction and maintenance of your green roof.
