Natural Beauty! Instantly mature green roof, delivered prevegetated and installed in mature state.
Removable patent-pending LiveRoof Soil Elevator allows modules to be invisible.
LiveRoof modules contain 100% recycled plastic.
Plants grown to maturity at the nursery and installed in mature state; quick and easy – can save 3-4 plus years of intensive and costly rooftop maintenance and cultivation.
Ergonomic design, fast and easy to handle and set in place.
Easy to install; no special knowledge, skills or lengthy learning curve. Step-by-step guide and DVD for growing, delivery, transport to roof, installation and maintenance.
Integrated components, delivered together and installed in one simple step.
Logitical simplicity – easy to transport from production to installation. Coengineered HOPPIT racking and delivery system for safe, efficient delivery from nursery to rooftop.
Easy removed to access roof; simply life modules, conduct service or modifications, then replace modules.

Plastic hidden from sun won’t become brittle.
Pre-grown vegetation acts as living mulch for extremely low maintenance. Maintenance cost is little (0.05-0.20 $/sf/yr) and predictable.
Vegetated surface is sealed by continuum of soil to maximize energy saving benefits.
Developed by team of horticulturists, green roof expers, roofers, landscapers, engineers, architects, and physical therapists.
Convenient cost-effective delivery.
Competitive pricing, great value.
Recycled components contribute to LEED credits.
