Our team devised a customized retention grid with aluminum edge. Plantings are a sedum mix with allium. It will take 1-2 years for plant growth to reach full coverage.

This is why residential green roof projects are our favorite - the clients are always happy! We even receive pictures from clients years later showing us how great they look. Like this mail we received today:
