Roof Top Gardening
Growing a garden on your roof top with ease.
Already Used Extensively
- In countries, like Switzerland and Germany it is
mandatory to make part of every roof "green".
- Now Roof Top Gardening is being seen more and more in
North America.
Advantages
- Aids in the production of better air quality.
- Planting a roof top garden protects and insulates the
roof system.
- Aids in lowering urban temperatures. How?
Paved surfaces retain heat. Similar to the experience of walking
on a paved driveway on a hot summer day vs. walking the grass in a
park. The heat is retained on the driveway.
- Provides better storm water management through the
fact that the gardens will absorb more water and therefore reduce the
runoff water from the buildings.
- Reduces the buildings cost of air conditioning.
Advantages of the CastleRock™ Raised Garden System
- Ease to relocate and move the system if repairs are
needed to the roof.
- The variety of sizes and configurations can be
designed for a multitude of roof environments.
