What is a Green Roof?
A Green Roof is a roofing system that is turned into a landscaped environment, and consists of greenery (grasses or plants), growing mediums (soil, mulch, etc) and a drainage system. This newly created green environment on your roof can have some surprising economic and environmental advantages, including lower air conditioning cost, improved air quality, reduced energy consumption, and a reduction in urban heat reflection. Depending on your desires and your application, Green Roofs can range in price from $4.50 per square foot to $10.00 per square foot. Over the lifetime of your Green Roof, your energy conservation and other factors can heavily offset your investment in this environmentally friendly initiative.

What are the benefits of a Green Roof?
Green Roofs can increase the life expectancy of your roof to 40 years or more. It does this by reducing the damage caused by extreme heat and freezing temperatures, reducing the UV exposure and degradation, and reduces the stress from expansion and contraction in the building. During the summer months, a Green Roof can lower the surface temperature of the roof by 70 degrees! A typical roof can reach temperatures of 170 degrees or higher, but a green roof converts much of that radiation into energy through photosynthesis instead of producing heat. This keeps the temperatures of the roof about the same as the ambient air temperature.
