Certified Green Roofing Contractors in South Florida
What is Green Roofing?
Green roofing consists of vegetation on top of a layered topography roof system that is meant to shield the structure and facilitate the growth of plants. Such systems enhance efficiency in energy, decrease runoffs, and make the environment healthier. Green roofs have the capability of being constructed as large-scale systems featuring plants with low-maintenance or intensive systems featuring deeper soil and extensive vegetation.
Benefits of Green Roofs

Stormwater Management
Environmental Value

Enhanced Beauty
Green roofs enhance natural beauty and may be converted into outdoor amenities.
Types of Green Roofing Systems
- Extensive: Light soils and tough plants, which have few maintenance needs.
- Intensive: Deeper soils with various plant life are typically available as a recreational area.
- Modular: Ready-planted trays, which are easily installed and can be easily changed in design.
Our Installation Process
We start with the structural assessment to ensure the roof can sustain additional weight. A waterproof sheet and root barrier are used to prevent corrosion of the building. Then drainage systems and growing media are added, followed by plant placement based on climate and exposure. The last stage involves irrigation installation and a maintenance program based on your system.
Long-Term Value
Even though green roofs are more expensive to install, energy consumption and maintenance of roof membranes save money, and possible tax benefits usually pay back. In the long run, they give financial and environmental payoffs.
