  1. Built-in-Place Systems System is built up and hand-planted on the day of install, leaving soil exposed for weed intrusion.

  2. Built-in-Place Systems Potentially can grow into a mature green roof. Time required to achieve full coverage depends upon level of maintenance. Deciduous plants leave soil exposed during dormancy.

  3. Carpet Systems A light weight system made up of layers of felt-like material and a top spun plastic or coco-fiber layer. Usually only one to two inches of soil.Modest front end cost, comes pre-vegetated with limited species. Low soil volume often does not support the plant material.

  4. Sod & Tile Systems 6 weeks since planting with regular irrigation, and these Sedum tiles still have not begun rooting into the soil below. Similar to Carpet Systems, but typically installed over built-in-place green roofs. Systems are not wind resistant or drought tolerant until their roots grow into the growing medium. Tile systems typically generate excessive trash from packaging.

  5. Traditional Modular Systems Plastic or Metal trays for easy access to roof. Delivered pre-planted or pre-grown to the jobsite.

  6. Traditional Modular Systems Visible modules detracted from aesthetic appeal. Modules typically cannot be custom cut to cover entire membrane, detracting from the extension of roof life. Module design does not promote healthy plant growth, and coverage is disrupted by the “edge effect”.

  7. System Function • Traditional Modular Systems HaveExposed Edges • NO SOIL CONNECTIVITY • Poor Aesthetic • Vulnerable to UV Rays • Lower R Values • Increased Maintenance Costs

  8. Knock-offs • Traditional Trays withCoco-fiber liners • Unsightly • May Take Years to Degrade • Wicks Moisture from the Plants • Reduced Soil Volume • Warranty ?

  9. LiveRoof Process First; the grower inserts the LiveRoof® Soil Elevator™ into LiveRoof® module. Installer sets LiveRoof® modules tightly in place on the roof. LiveRoof® module is filled with LiveRoof® engineered growing medium. LiveRoof® Soil Elevator™ is removed for a beautiful, seamless instantly mature green roof. LiveRoof® Plants are grown to maturity under care of professional growers. Water to settle growing medium and to get your LiveRoof® off to a great start.

  10. System Function Natural Function, Natural Beauty • Hybrid System • Combines the benefits of modular, plant in place, and carpet green roof systems. • Roots & Water are shared between modules, making the system more drought resistant.

  11. System Function • High Quality Soil • Meets or Exceeds German FLL Standards • Works incredibly well with minimal shrinkage and great fertility. • Module side walls are not angled, thus holding more soil than other systems, this increases the system’s ability to hold storm water and the R Value.

  12. System Function • Superior Plants • Grown using organic and biologically focused production methods at our MAEAP Verified Farm. • Bio Controls & Banker Plants • Grown from cuttings instead of plugs • Plant mixes can be formulated in almost any color scheme, height, or bloom time

  13. LiveRoof System Benefits Conveyor Custom Cuts

  14. Installation • Simple, Easy, Efficient • Certified Installers • Retractable Top Trailers • Specialized Hoppits • Roll-A-Roof Conveyor

  15. Easy Maintenance • Simple, Predictable, Inexpensive • Easy to Follow Maintenance Guide • Biweekly Maintenance Emails • Lower Life-Cycle Cost • Module & Plant Warranties

  16. Integrated Paver System • Saves Time & Money • Effective • Practical • Sensible

  17. RoofStone® Pavers

  18. Local, Personal Service • Network of Growers • Local Reps • Design Help • Install Quality Control • Maintenance Help

  19. Spec Writer Unique web-based specification program to help you create custom specs for your projects.  Simply answer a few questions about your project and the program will send you a custom specification. 

  20. Plant Specifications Be Specific Spec Writer Now Allows You To Enter Plant Mix(es) Into Specifications

  21. BIM • Building Information Modeling (BIM) Components Available. • Visual 3D rendering of the LiveRoof System. • Technical information for easy specification. • Simply download the file & drop it into your drawing. LiveRoof Standard & Deep Pictured

  22. Designer’s Checklist • Be Proactive • Be Specific • Use our Designer’s Checklist • Specify the Right Plants for the Job Avoid placing plants within roof lines that overhang the planted area. Specify overhead irrigation instead of drip irrigation systems. Avoid placing plants withinthe airstream of roof vents.

  23. WindDisc™ • LiveRoof Standard System Tested & Received Rating (CSA A123.21-10) • Rating Enhanced with WindDisc module connectors. • Patent-pending WindDisc technology allows any size LiveRoof modules or RoofStone pavers to connect together First Green Roof System to PassFull Scale Dynamic Wind Uplift Test

  24. Project Showcase Find projects in your region; search by type of client, module depth, or special designs.
