Lovely, little green roof

We recently built a green roof for a client and thought we’d share some photos of the finished the project. Mike built the roof and Northwest Rain Solutions installed the growing medium and vegetation. These clients are passionate about storm water management and in addition to the green roof they have a large rain garden and extensive native landscaping.

In addition the roof can potentially reduce heating and cooling costs by improving insulation and UV absorption. Check out the Northwest Rain Solutions website for more information about green roofs and storm water management.
