Living Roof Page
The Living roof is an idea which has waited too long to become
mainstream. In an era of overheated, smog ridden cities the living roof,
or green roof, makes a lot of sense.
By cooling and cleaning both air and water, and providing greenspace
and wildlife habitat, green roofs make the city an even better place to
live.
Add to these benefits triple the roof life and the potential to super
insulate the top of a building and it's hard to imagine why a roof wouldn't
be living.

This garage is typical in an old city
neighborhood. One really needs
the faith of a mustard seed.

Some of this years lushness!
After repairing the structure all the
proper layers were applied then
soil and plants, little plants. I
thought plugs were the best way
to start this roof.
