How do Green Roofs Work?
A green roof system is a section of vegetation that partially or wholly covers up the existing roof structure. The layers of a typical green roof consist of:
- Waterproofing Membrane
- Root Barrier
- Drainage Layer
- Filter Fabric
- Irrigation System
- Growing Medium
- Vegetation
These layers work together to absorb and purify rainwater, provide shade, remove heat from the air, and reduce the temperatures of the roof surface.

Types of Green Roofs
There are 3 types of green roofs that can be installed on a traditional roof. These are determined by depth, type of vegetation, and the function of the green roof system. The 3 types of green roof systems are:
- Extensive Green Roof: Thin layer of growing medium that requires minimal maintenance.
- Semi-Intensive Green Roof: Slightly larger growing medium good for grasses, shrubs, and tall trees.
- Intensive Green Roof: Versatile green roof system that can host almost any vegetation and be treated like a garden. Provide the most cooling and energy-saving benefits.
