A greenroof is simply a building with a cover of live plants as opposed to traditional roofing.  Typically there is a waterproof membrane and then soil or other growing media.  It may also be vegtative mats or modules linked together to form a living rooftop.  There are many advantages to constructing  a greenroof.  These include:   

• Reduction in both the heating and cooling needs for a building.
• Lessening the amount of stormwater runoff.
• Reduction of the urban 'heat island' effect.
• Filtration of air and water of pollutants.
• Adding new habitats for beneficial insects and birds.
• Increasing the lifespan of the roof.
• Use of the rooftop as an amenity to building occupants.

We supply plant material for these projects as unrooted cuttings, plugs, or as finished containers.  For pricing, please contact us sales@smgsucculents.com.
