Green Roofing: Eco-Friendly Solutions for Your Home

If you're looking for a way to conserve resources while making a smart investment in your home, it's time to call the top roofing company in Salt Lake City – Patriot Roofing & Construction! We’re committed to minimizing our ecological footprint, and we’re proud to offer our customers sustainable green roofing solutions.

A green roof uses carefully planned landscaping to cover your roof with vegetation. While the waterproof weathering materials stay in place, the vegetation replaces the traditional roofing finish. Though this may sound like a modern and untested system, green roofing has been used across the globe for thousands of years. With benefits ranging from temperature reduction to sound insulation, a green roof is an investment you don’t want to miss.

What is a Green Roof Made Of?

A green roof system is designed to provide multiple benefits while protecting your home, just like a conventional roof would. There are several types of green roofs, including intensive, extensive, and biodiverse (or brown) roofs. All of these types have similar components, including a protective fleece layer, drainage or reservoir layer, filter fleece, growing medium or crushed aggregate, vegetation, and hard landscaping.

  • Intensive Green Roofs: These are the most detailed and feature a variety of plants, such as shrubs and trees. Intensive green roofs have unlimited design potential but require more depth and ongoing maintenance to support the heavier vegetation. Regular watering and plant care are essential for their success.

  • Extensive Green Roofs: These roofs focus more on aesthetics and use easier-to-maintain vegetation, such as succulents, herbs, grasses, and moss. They are more cost-effective and require less upkeep. The choice of plants depends on your home’s location and the local ecosystem.

  • Brown Roofs: A biodiverse green roofing option, brown roofs are designed to recreate the natural habitats that were displaced by urban development. These roofs are commonly found in cities, providing a habitat for birds and plants.
