Green Roof Systems

A greener roof. More room for nature. Give an overlooked rooftop a new purpose. Livscape’s Green Roof Systems bring living greenery into the built environment, with designs shaped around your building, available space and maintenance preferences. From low-growing planted roofs to accessible rooftop gardens, the approach depends on the structure, waterproofing, drainage and intended use. A qualified structural assessment helps establish what your roof can safely support.

SERVICE BENEFITS

More than something green. Something for your everyday.

01

Help moderate roof temperatures

Vegetation and growing media can help reduce roof-surface heating and heat transfer into the building.

02

Make space for nature

Suitable planting can provide habitat for insects and bring greenery into areas with limited garden space.

03

Support rainwater management

Green roofs can retain and slow some rainfall runoff, with performance depending on the system and rainfall conditions.

04

Create a more appealing outlook

Replace an exposed roof surface with a thoughtfully planted landscape.

05

Explore outdoor living possibilities

Where structural capacity and safe access allow, an accessible roof garden can offer space to pause and enjoy nature.

SERVICE FEATURES

A setup shaped around your space.

The final scope is discussed and agreed before work begins, so you know what your garden setup includes.

Green Roof Systems
  • Site-specific planning

    A design informed by roof condition, access, sunlight, wind exposure and intended use.

  • Roof protection

    Compatible waterproofing and root-protection measures specified for the proposed system.

  • Engineered growing media

    A suitable growing medium selected for the planting and assessed roof capacity.

  • Drainage and filtration

    Layers that manage water movement while helping keep growing media out of drainage routes.

  • Suitable planting

    Plants chosen for rooftop conditions and the level of care you can provide.

  • Watering and maintenance provision

    Practical arrangements for irrigation, inspections and ongoing plant care.

OUR PROCESS

A clear path to your growing space.

    1. Understand your goals

    Discuss your space, preferred appearance, intended use and maintenance expectations.

  2. ASSESSMENT

    Assess suitability

    Review the roof and arrange the necessary structural, waterproofing and drainage assessments before confirming feasibility.

  3. PLANNING

    Develop the proposal

    Define the planting layout, system requirements, access arrangements, scope and quotation.

  4. INSTALLATION

    Prepare and install

    Complete the agreed preparation and protective works, verify waterproofing integrity, and install the specified roof layers and planting.

  5. AFTERCARE

    Establish and maintain

    Provide a care plan covering plant establishment, watering, weeding and drainage inspections.

TRANSPARENT PRICING

Clear scope. A quote that fits your space.

Every roof has different requirements. Your quotation should reflect the assessed condition of the building, the proposed system and the work needed to deliver it.

A clear proposal for your particular roof.

Following the site review, the proposal will identify the agreed scope, materials, installation work and any separately priced options.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A few things you might be wondering.

Have a question about your own space? Include it in your enquiry below.

What is a green roof system?
A green roof is a planted system installed above a building’s roof, incorporating vegetation, growing media and protective and drainage layers.
Can every roof support a green roof?
No. Suitability depends on the structure, roof condition, drainage and proposed use. A qualified structural engineer should assess the additional loads, including retained water, mature planting and people where access is planned.
Can a green roof be added to an existing building?
Potentially. An existing building must first be assessed to determine whether the proposed system is feasible and whether preparation or strengthening is necessary.
Will it make my home cooler?
A green roof can help moderate roof temperatures and heat transfer. The effect inside your home depends on the building, existing insulation, planted coverage and system design.
Will it prevent roof leaks?
A green roof is not a remedy for unresolved leakage. Suitable waterproofing, root protection, careful installation and inspections are essential parts of the system.
Can I walk on the planted roof?
Only where the roof and green roof system are designed for that use. Some systems provide maintenance access rather than general recreational access.
Does a green roof need maintenance?
Yes. Depending on the system, care can include watering, weeding, plant replacement and inspections of drainage and roof protection. Lower-maintenance planting still requires attention.
How long does installation take?
The timeline depends on roof area, preparation, technical requirements, access and weather. A project-specific schedule can be provided once the scope is established.
How do I get started?
Share your location, approximate roof area, photographs and what you would like to achieve. The next step is to review the space and establish what further assessment is needed.
