• Known by some as "Garden Roofs", a green roof is environmentally friendly and energy efficient. 

Advantages of a green roof:

• Reduces reflected roof heat that causes the "urban heat island effect", driving the ambient temperature up in cities.
• Reduces stormwater run off
• Reduces energy bills for heating and cooling
• Provides sound insulation
• Extends the life of the roof itself
• Plantings provide some air cleaning qualities
• Provides an aesthetically pleasing environment
• Can qualify for government incentives
