What is a green roof?

A green roof is a living roof that is partially or completely covered with vegetation, soil, and a thin layer of growing medium, designed to provide insulation, reduce stormwater runoff, and enhance biodiversity.

How do I maintain a green roof?

Maintenance for a green roof includes regular inspections, weeding, irrigation, and fertilization, as well as ensuring proper drainage and addressing any pest issues to promote plant health and longevity.

What are the initial costs associated with installing a green roof?

Initial costs can vary widely depending on the size, design, and materials used, but generally include expenses for structural reinforcement, waterproofing, drainage systems, and planting materials. It's important to budget accordingly for both setup and ongoing maintenance.

How do green roofs contribute to water management?

Green roofs help manage stormwater by absorbing rainwater through the vegetation and soil layers, which reduces runoff and decreases the burden on urban drainage systems, thus mitigating flooding and water pollution.

Are there any specific plants recommended for green roofs?

While the choice of plants depends on the climate and specific conditions of the roof, common options include sedums, succulents, and native grasses, which are typically resilient and require less maintenance.
