    Hi. The vegetation is really just a 'carpet' that's rolled out. This sits over a drainage mat and weedproof layer to protect the waterproof membrane below. The main consideration is the structure at the roof will get heavy when it rains as the drainage mat and vegetation retain water thus increasing the load of the roof.

    See a link to the roofing supplier we used on this project.

    Hope this helps.

    If you want an easy to install DIY green roof - look for a modular system like ANS GrufeKit: ansgroupglobal.com/green-roof
