Green roofing systems are a vegetation filled roof system applied above a traditional high quality roof system. Green roof systems are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the conventional roof system and also offer many attractive benefits.

The soil and vegetation act as a natural landscape which in turn stays cooler and reduces surface temperatures of your roof, thereby lowering the energy costs for your facility. The system also reduces the heat island effect. It provides a natural cooling effect by mimicking natural landscape that is not available in urban settings.

The life of your roof system is extended because the vegetation and growth media protect the membrane from temperature fluctuations and ultraviolet radiation. In some cases this can almost double the life span of your roof while also reducing traditional maintenance costs. A green roof will result in LEED points for tax saving benefits and creates a strong green image for your business.

In addition to financial benefits for your business there are also benefits to the environment. Green roof systems will create a natural landscape and habitat, improve air quality, reduce storm water runoff through natural water absorption while providing a functional aesthetic environment for employees or tenants.

We work closely with our clients to provide the best options for their facility and budget. We handle and coordinate all elements of your green roof project from installation of the roofing and irrigation systems to planting and maintenance.
