What Is a Green Roof?

A green or living roof is completely or partially covered with living vegetation. The plants or flowers are planted on top of a growing medium and waterproof membrane that stops water from entering the building below. Many eco-friendly green roofs also have a barrier that keeps roots from growing and damaging the structure. These roofs can provide many benefits to your home and community. Some of those benefits include:

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Managing stormwater
Improving air quality
Combatting the urban heat island effect
Saving energy

These structures also create shelter and protection for wildlife, support plant growth, and improve mental health.
