The Sky is the Limit

A deeper depth of growing medium and a greater plant palette offer many possibilities and range of functions from stormwater management, to biodiversity, to food production. Sufficient structural capacity is key for these full-bodied systems which are often incorporated into accessible amenity areas with hardscape features promoting accessibility, greater socialization and general wellbeing.

Greater Plant Palette

 

  • Offer nearly unlimited plant and design varieties
  • Help replicate displaced ecosystems  
  • Provide a natural habitat for birds, pollinators and insects 

Accessible Green Space

  • Transform rooftops into additional recreational and amenity space for user enjoyment
  • Contribute to local food security and are becoming a growing trend in urban agriculture 
  • Encourage socialization, improves physical and mental health, boosts productivity and creativity

Higher Water Retention

  • Deeper growing media offers greater rainfall storage for a reduction in stormwater runoff; Depth can be increased or customized as needed
  • Retention can be increased with Needled Mineral Hydro Blanket or recycled polymeric fleece layers that hold more rainfall and weigh less than traditional growing media
  • Meet water balance requirements such as Toronto Green Standard (TGS) WQ1.3 On-site Green Infrastructure  
  • Maximize irrigation water reuse
