LiveRoof Green Roof Systems
The Proof is in the Roof! Our patented hybrid green roof design combines the best features of alternate green roof methods:
Natural Beauty
LiveRoof offers the Natural Function and Natural Beauty of built-in-place living roofs—without the extensive ongoing costs of maturation.
Ease of Installation
LiveRoof offers the convenience of delivery and speed of installation of green roof modules—without grid lines or compartmentalization of soil.
Instantly Mature
LiveRoof is fully vegetated and offers a broader plant palette than carpet or mat systems, without the need for excessive watering and maintenance required for establishment.
Blue Green Roof Research
A 2022 research study by world-renowned green roof researcher, Brad Rowe, finds the RoofBlue RETAIN system (combined with either LiveRoof Standard or LiveRoof Lite modules) increases stormwater retention by over 25%. Read our official white paper on RoofBlue RETAIN’s effectiveness in enhancing plant growth and reducing irrigation requirements on a green roof.
Locally Made, Grown & Supported
LiveRoof plastic modules, concrete pavers, aluminum edging, and other accessories are manufactured in the United States. LiveRoof brand engineered green roof soils are blended by local soil formulators and planted by local Licensed Growers in the USA and Canada.
RoofTop Proven™ Green Roof Plants
We breed and select the most outstanding plants, and subject them to rigorous rooftop trials and broadscale hardiness testing. We proudly offer dozens of exclusive, RoofTop Proven™ plant selections specifically developed for performance on green roofs.
Green Roof Design – Time-Saving Tools
To support design professionals, we maintain an architecture and engineering section on this website, as well as a printed Idea Guide & Designer’s Checklist. These resources are kept current with the knowledge we have obtained through our supply of thousands of green roofs totaling millions of square feet.
