Greenroofs led us to sustainability as a company. Greenroofs benefit the environment by: Insulating the roof and providing energy savings on heating and cooling. Doubling, sometimes tripling the life of the roof by protecting it from water, UV, and temperature extremes. Greenroofs absorb 80% of the water that lands on them reducing storm water runoff. Absorbing CO2 and releasing oxygen. Absorbing pollutants. Increasing biodiversity. By cooling roof tops, greenroofs help mitigate "heat island effect". They beautify the roof top. A greenroof is not necessarily a roof garden. Many greenroofs are thin layers of low maintenance plants that serve as a living blanket. Our favorite greenroof however are roof gardens. Greenroof technology radically expands the design possibilities for the client.Over 75,000 sq. feet and planting!

We built our first Greenroof in 1996 and have been aggressively educating the public about the benefits ever since. Since 1996, Greener by Design has constructed and maintained over 75,000 square feet of green roof.
