Green Roof = Sustainable Design

A green roof is just one of many steps toward more sustainable and environmentally friendly landscapes. We installed a green roof in Eaton’s Neck using the LiveRoof System. The residence is designed specifically for several green roofs; not just for aesthetic value but environmental as well.

Advantages:

– Soil and plant matter provides insulation for temperature & sound

– Reduces stormwater runoff by absorbing water

– Reduces air pollution & lowers the heat island effect with sedums that evapotranspirate at night

Pre-grown modular system:

– Minimal irrigation needs, especially once it is established

– Uses fire resistant succulent planting; plants retain moisture and are fit for arid conditions

– 25-50% energy savings

– Lightweight modules decrease load on roof

– Repair requires minimal disruption of system; trays can removed and replaced individually

– Plant choices offer visual interest all year round
