LiveRoof® Hybrid Green Roof System The First and Only Hybrid Green Roof System, LiveRoof® combines – the best features of proven green roof technologies:
LiveRoof is the only green roof solution installed with full-grown, fully mature plants thriving in a healthy, connected ecosystem established on the day of installation. LiveRoof modules, manufactured with recycled plastics in the U.S.A., create a dense and seamless planted surface rooted in a continuous layer of soil that extends an inch above the tops of the modules. No need to start with a brown roof and work on it over several seasons... waiting to see if it becomes a "green" green roof. 
LiveRoof Functions as Nature Intended Other modular systems are trays of plants sitting on a roof. But compartmentalizing soil and plants into segregated grids is unnatural. LiveRoof is naturally superior. LiveRoof modules are designed to establish soil-to-soil connection across all modules to unite the soil across the entire rooftop. This creates a true ecosystem, allowing for the natural sharing of water, nutrients and beneficial organisms across the rooftop. By not compartmentalizing the soil into artificial grids, LiveRoof minimizes hot, wet and dry zones. LiveRoof maximizes soil, root and moisture cohesiveness just as nature intended. That's why a LiveRoof is a healthy, sustainable green roof. 
The Benefits of Natural Function LiveRoof modules are subterranean with no lips or edges exposed to the sun. No Air Gaps between ModulesLiveRoof's uninterrupted continuum of soil eliminates air gaps and optimizes R value, cooling value, and stormwater absorption. Proper Roof Top DrainageLiveRoof keeps the roof dry with drain channels that disperse water at 7.0 gallons per minute per linear foot. The Best Green Roof ValueThe highest level of green roof performance at the lowest level of acquisition-installation-maturation-maintenance costs. 
The Gift of Natural Beauty No unattractive plastic or metal components, edges, or seams are visible on the rooftop. Four-Season BeautyA unique mix of deciduous and evergreen plants grow intermixed and maintain a meadow with full coverage year-round. Design Flexibility for Creative ExpressionOnly LiveRoof modules can be custom cut and keep the level of the soil even and the plants anchored in an uninterrupted root system. Landscape architects and roof designers can create natural looking green roofs with sweeping curves and full vegetation from parapet to parapet.
The LiveRoof Difference
NOTE: The success and appearance of any modular or other green roof system is dependent upon numerous factors such as the designer's specification, user's adherence to specified maintenance, specific variations in plant type, planting density, and adherence to proper installation. System Design ConsiderationsFor design recommendations for wind, fire, slope, irrigation and other common green roof concerns, please visit http://www.liveroof.com/?page=ArchitectureEngineering. Additionally, for access to our designer's checklist and our new Spec Writer, which allows you to build custom specifications in less than one minute, contact us at (800) 875-1392. Plant selection is critical and for best performance, should be selected with assistance from a LiveRoof® grower and included in the specifications / roof plans.
