TOTAL SATURATED WEIGHT 46kg/m² INCLUDING PLANTS !
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 are exceptionally lightweight
Total Saturated weight from 143kg/m2
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.
Total Saturated Weight from 210kg/m2
Successful 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.
