A variety of shrubs and coppices, grassed areas and selected trees can be used and require a greater depth of soil, making heavy demands on the structure. Regular maintenance is required – watering, fertilizing and weeding. This type of green roofing is typically built for recreational use.

Living roofs provide the ecologically and economically important benefit of rooftop insulation to reduce the amount of energy used for building air conditioning. Green roofing acts as a barrier to thermal transfer of the sun’s energy through the roof.
Living roof systems have been shown to retain 60-100% of the rainfall they receive. Stormwater retention relieves excess volume from overburdened sewer systems and filters stormwater pollutants.
