Healthy roof gardens -- without the load or drainage issues.
GreenTech’s Green Roof System helps you construct a light weight and efficient green roof system on a wide variety of roofs and structures.
Built-in drainage channels allow water to flow through the soil into the open channels and directly to roof drain outlets. At the same time, each high-density polyethylene module protects the roof surface from root infiltration and damage to the roof membrane. The result is a robust planting surface, with sufficient root depth, that is more lightweight and flexible than other green roof options.

Benefits
Increased Drainage, Decreased Weight Click Here For More Pictures
Water moves directly to the waterproofing layer and to roof drain outlets, without moving laterally through the soil. As a result, you enjoy almost 40 times the drainage and air flow capacity of conventional drainage systems. What’s more, drainage channels displace soil, resulting in a 20 to 40% weight reduction.
Build In Advance
Roof and garden construction can take place simultaneously. Once the roof structure is complete, the garden can be installed quickly.
Removal and Replacement
Individual modules can be removed without dismantling or disrupting other modules or the drainage and irrigation network.

"I can assure you that I was
very impressed with the
GreenTech® modular system and
I can see many opportunities
to use that system to create
roof-top gardens on flat roofs.
One of the big problems with
most roof top gardens is that
there is insufficient slope to
drain water through gravel
resulting in numerous drainage
problems. The GreenTech®
system does not restrict the
movement of water and it
allows for sufficient root depth".
