Extensive green roof gardens - 140mm - 200mm profile depth

Extensive and semi-extensive roof gardens have a thin growing medium that can be transformed into a lush planted surface featuring low-growing succulents, native grasses, sedges and shrubs. We thoughtfully engineer and select appropriate species in the context of your site’s conditions and aesthetic so they grow into healthy resilient living systems. Our extensive roof gardens are subsurface irrigated and designed for low maintenance plus they’re so lightweight that even fully saturated they only weigh from 136kg/m2.

Intensive green roof gardens - 200mm - 1500mm+ profile depth

Intensive roof gardens are deeper and can sustain more complex landscapes, including shrubs, bushes, even 10m trees. Such landscapes can be used use as recreation, gardens or wildlife habitat. With increased depth and design intent, intensive green roofs are heavier than their extensive counterparts. But we account for this, along with a multitude of factors and influences, during the planning stages.

Ultra lighweight roof garden - ideal for Colorbond roofs

Fytogreens FytoArbour is a first in the industry and is becoming an extremely popular innovative greening solution for supplying lightweight roof gardens on metal deck roof systems (including Trimdek , corrugated and Klip lok).

The FytoArbour is only 25kg per lineal metre fully saturated weight (130mm x 200mm module). Engineer-certified construction executed with care and fire compliant options available. The modules are installed with non-penetrating fixing components, providing a self-contained modular hydroponic garden systems with a wide range of site specific species available to suit clients ascetic requirements.

It is the perfect solution for greening an existing metal roof that is not suitable for an extensive roof garden.

Sloped green roof gardens - up to 45 degrees

We’re known in the industry for our ability to green roofs others can’t. (We’ve been in the business longer, we’ve learnt what works, and our dedicated R&D department thrive on a challenge). In the case of sloping roofs with angles of 15 to 45 degrees, the secret to our success is careful planning and the Geoweb Cellular confinement system. By preventing sliding, it allows us to construct gardens on previously unfeasible roofs with spectacular results.

Their knowledge can’t be matched… I routinely recommend Fytogreen

It’s a pleasure working with Geoff, Erik and the rest of the Fytogreen team. They’re proactive, extremely generous with their time and happy to share their expertise. Their knowledge of substrates, irrigation, drainage, water proofing, and the structural load bearing implications of green roofs, walls and facades is unparalleled. Furthermore, their botanical and horticultural knowledge can’t be matched by any other provider in Australia.

I routinely recommend Fytogreen to colleagues and clients explaining that if you need a solution to your living architecture or green infrastructure challenge – Fytogreen are the ones to assist.”
