Rainy days in the city remind us how green roofs play a big part in Stormwater Mitigation! 💦

Green Roofs encourage infiltration and minimize surface runoff, since stormwater is a growing concern for urban areas.

The vegetation provide runoff mitigation by removing water from the growing medium and releasing it back into the atmosphere. Green Roof systems also include water retention layers, which is absorptive materials that store water in the space between fibres.

A reminder that our Etobicoke General Hospital green roof system can retain 400,000 litres of water which is equivalent to approximately 21 swimming pools. 🏈🌿

Check out this very special close to home project we completed in Greek Town!

We had the pleasure of working with a bee keeper, who was looking to have a pollinating roof using native native plant species to attract bees and butterflies.

With the help of , we centred the design around the Liatris Piccata species, typically used for attracting these native pollinators.

The roof shown is a semi intensive roof, with 6 inches of soil and partially irrigated 1 year after installation.

Have you ever thought about the ways in which Green Roofs can actually save you some money? 🤑

1. Roof Protection and Extended Lifespan: Covering your roof with vegetation offers a protective layer that shelters the water proofing membrane of your roof from the sun, extending the lifespan for up to 70 years!

2. Insulation: Studies show that green roofs as insulation could be very effective, especially in summer months when air conditioning systems are overloaded and buildings are warming.

3. Increases Your Property Value: Green spaces and infrastructure have positive effects on property value. If your roof is accessible and has been programmed to accommodate plants and people, the monetary gains are even greater.

Did you know that there are different types of green roofs? 🤔

No two roof gardens are alike! There are three primary types:

Extensive: A shallow and lighter system, which is the most common type of live roof.

Semi-Intensive: A deeper green roof system that provides greater planting options due to greater soil availability.

Intensive: A type of eco roof system that can support most types of plants, including shrubs and tress but is heavier and needs more maintenance.

Which one do you prefer? 🪴
