There is something so fun and whimsical in seeing a roof or wall covered in vegetation. It kindles our spirit’s hunger to be enveloped by nature. Mainstream architecture is not only often void of nature, it can also harm the environment with VOC’s and toxic qualities from the materials used. Living roofs and walls help balance this with air purifying elements and create an atmosphere of well-being that reduces tension and stress.
With less soil medium than a typical garden, the design and plants used become important considerations with how much weight your roof or wall can hold. We have experience with many different solutions and consolidated pros and cons that can help you decide on the best action for your project.
