Green Roof Substrate

Green roof substrate is a lightweight, engineered soil mix designed specifically for green roofs. It typically contains a blend of lightweight aggregates, organic matter, and minerals that support plant growth while minimizing the weight load on the building structure. This substrate is designed to retain moisture, provide aeration, and offer nutrients needed for sustainable plant growth in rooftop environments. It also aids in drainage, preventing water from pooling on the roof. Green roof substrates are crucial for the success of green roofs, as they balance the need for lightness, water retention, and plant health, contributing to the environmental benefits of green roofing systems.
