Intensive green roofs are accessible gardens used for recreational and leisure purposes.  The landscape variations are practically limitless as it is feasible to create an environment at roof level similar to that of any designed garden.  An intensive garden requires maintenance and management throughout the year to ensure the upkeep of the garden and vegetation.

The more intensive the landscaping, the greater the diversity options for design.  There is little to restrict scope for design other than the overall weight of the system and its effect on the cost of the supporting construction.  However, it is important to first establish the landscape finish you are looking to achieve, which will then have a direct impact on the system and structure to support it.

Green roof gardens have many environmental and ecological benefits as well as enhancing biodiversity.

Our intensive green roof systems introduce special reservoir and drainage components and lightweight substrate soils designed to improve water storage and drainage performance, whilst significantly reducing the soil depth and weight when compared to traditional construction.

Our team of experts will assist you in your design requirements and advise on all technical issues and constraints. 

As each green roof has individual requirements we advise you to contact us as soon as possible during the project process to ensure that your design can be fully maximised upon.
