Green Roofing FAQs
Yes. A garden environment can be produced using intensive green roofing. These have deeper planting layers to facilitate specimen planting and a wider use of garden plants or shrubs.
Intensive green roof projects can often be landscaped to include seating (subject to load bearing capacity).
Green roof layers typically consist of:
- Waterproofing membrane over the roof deck – this is the base layer and it must be reliable
- Protective, insulating layers
- Root barrier
- Drainage layers consisting of gravel, stones or other suitable medium
- Planting layers – including soil and planting
The top layers can also include specimen plants or trees, walkways, terracing and seating areas in an intensive green roof design (subject to load bearing capacity).
A flat garage roof is perfect for a green roof project, providing it has a suitable roof deck. Corrugated roofing would need to be replaced, for example, with a flat, suitable surface, such as timber.
Green roof projects are suitable for competent and confident homeowners with skills. The installation of the waterproofing layer is fast and straightforward, ideal for DIY with an EPDM roof kit. This provides a reliable base from which the rest of the green roofing layers are installed.
We offer support and a range of green roofing kits to help make planning and installation of the system straightforward. We can also connect you with a trained green roof installer if you decide DIY isn’t for you.
The installation of a green roof may not be as much as you think. We can help from the roof deck up with kits for waterproofing, drainage and planting layers.

Green roofing has been around for thousands of years. Early green roofs consisted of moss, leaves and woven twigs to keep out the rain and later came reed or thatched roofing.
Modern green roofing is a bit different. Consisting of layers of material, today’s green roofs can help with urban rainwater management and reduce surface flooding in some areas. They can also provide a haven for wildlife, and this has in recent times contributed to its rise in popularity.
A living roof is another term given to green roofing. It refers to the planting mediums used and can be appropriately used for both extensive and intensive green roof systems.
A sedum roof is essentially a green roof, but with sedum plants used exclusively as the planting medium.
Blue roofs are complex in both the planning and the installation. It is always advisable to engage a reliable professional during the planning stages to determine the best way forward for the project.
Blue roof systems are installed above the waterproofing membrane and this job is perfect for DIY. We provide full support and a range of EPDM roof kits to help you get this right, first time.
The waterproofing membrane at the base level of a green roof must be highly reliable, providing 100% waterproofing throughout the expected service life. Because drainage layers in green roofs typically consist of gravel or other stones, a protective layer must be installed over the membrane to protect it.
In addition, membranes should be protected from root penetration in certain types of green roof design, such as those using plants with deeper root growth.
