The benefits of green roofs and roof-top gardens extend far beyond aesthetic appeal – they also contribute to the improved health of the home as well as the local natural environment.

Temperature Regulation & Moderation of

Urban Heat

Green roof vegetation helps to cool city air during hot summer months and acts as a filter for airborne smog particles.

Noise Reduction

Plants and soil help absorb noise pollution from the surrounding area.

Water Conservation

The soils in green roof systems act like a sponge to absorb excess rain water and reduce the amount of run-off that flows into the municipal storm drainage system and surrounding watershed. Green roofs help to filter the excess water prior to returning it to the aquifer.

Improved Air Quality

Green roof vegetation cleans the surrounding air by encouraging carbon dioxide uptake and oxygen production.

Building Insulation

A green roof will have a noticeable impact on the heat gain and loss of a building. Often this translates to savings in heating and cooling utilities.

Featuring the LiveRoof system with uniquely-designed perennial gardens framed by certified Green Stone, this partnership project promises to create a stunning, natural oasis within the heart of the city.
