Description: Learn in detail about all varieties of Greenroofs. Read about Green Roof types, Green Roof systems, Solar Garden Roofs, and Blue Green Roofs.
A Green Roof is a technique to establish vegetation/plants on ground disconnected areas and any other man-made, impervious structures. Living Roofs or Green Roofs are also known as Vegetated Roofs, Eco Roofs, Bio Roofs, and Roof Gardens.
Ideally, vegetated roofs consist of different layers that mimic a natural soil profile (soil horizons).
These layers ensure that vegetation can thrive for as long as the structure lasts. Living Roofs or Green Roofs can partially or entirely eliminate the negative environmental impact (footprint) of a man-made structure.
