Built-in-Place Systems 1 System is built up and hand-planted on
the day of install, leaving soil exposed for weed intrusion.
Slide 2
Built-in-Place Systems 2 Potentially can grow into a mature
green roof. Time required to achieve full coverage depends upon
level of maintenance. Deciduous plants leave soil exposed during
dormancy.
Slide 3
Carpet Systems 3 A light weight system made up of layers of
felt-like material and a top spun plastic or coco-fiber layer.
Usually only one to two inches of soil. Modest front end cost,
comes pre-vegetated with limited species. Low soil volume often
does not support the plant material.
Slide 4
Sod & Tile Systems Sod & Tile Systems 4 Similar to
Carpet Systems, but typically installed over built-in-place green
roofs. Systems are not wind resistant or drought tolerant until
their roots grow into the growing medium. Tile systems typically
generate excessive trash from packaging. 6 weeks since planting
with regular irrigation, and these Sedum tiles still have not begun
rooting into the soil below.
Slide 5
Traditional Modular Systems 5 Plastic or Metal trays for easy
access to roof. Delivered pre-planted or pre-grown to the
jobsite.
Slide 6
Traditional Modular Systems 6 Visible modules detracted from
aesthetic appeal. Modules typically cannot be custom cut to cover
entire membrane, detracting from the extension of roof life. Module
design does not promote healthy plant growth, and coverage is
disrupted by the edge effect.

LiveRoof Process 9 First; the grower inserts the LiveRoof Soil
Elevator into LiveRoof module. LiveRoof Plants are grown to
maturity under care of professional growers. LiveRoof module is
filled with LiveRoof engineered growing medium. Installer sets
LiveRoof modules tightly in place on the roof. LiveRoof Soil
Elevator is removed for a beautiful, seamless instantly mature
green roof. Water to settle growing medium and to get your LiveRoof
off to a great start.

System Function 10 Natural Function, Natural Beauty Hybrid
System Combines the benefits of modular, plant in place, and carpet
green roof systems. Roots & Water are shared between modules,
making the system more drought resistant.
Slide 11
System Function 11 High Quality Soil Meets or Exceeds German
FLL Standards Works incredibly well with minimal shrinkage and
great fertility. Module side walls are not angled, thus holding
more soil than other systems, this increases the systems ability to
hold storm water and the R Value.
