Green
Roof Soil Mixes -
Green roofs have become quite popular lately, particularly on office
buildings. They save on the amount of energy the building
uses, aid in helping to clean the air of pollution, help
prevent run-off, last longer structurally and are more
attractive.
- A
green roof will have a noticeable impact on the heat gain
and loss of a building, as well as the humidity, air
quality and reflected heat in the surrounding
neighborhood.
- Water
is stored by the substrate and then taken up by the plants
from where it is returned to the atmosphere through
transpiration and evaporation.
- Green
roofs not only retain the rainwater, but also moderate the
temperature of the water and act as natural filters for
any
of the water that happens to run off.
- Green
roofs reduce the amount of stormwater runoff and also
delay the
time at which runoff occurs, resulting in
decreased stress on sewer systems at peak flow periods.
Leafgro®
is a natural compost used as part of a growing medium
for green roof projects. One
of our customers has won national awards using a mixture of
Leafgro®,
styrofoam and fine pines in his green roof soil mix.
Leafgro®
"It's a Natural" because it's
100% Organic!
