One of our more technically intensive projects, this DeCicco & Sons Supermarket greenroof comprises 750 individual 58-pound trays of beautiful sedum plant material, all laid by hand by our install crew. For this project, we used a modular greenroof system, which allows for the connection of trays into larger units without visible seams and unnecessary plant die-off.
While the greenroof system does look stunning, its purpose is not only aesthetic. As a piece of green infrastructure, the living roof increases the efficiency of both the building’s heating and cooling systems, as well as extending the life of the roof itself by protecting it from the harsh natural elements. The system is also entirely extensive, requiring only natural rainfall and precipitation to thrive.
