Wondering if Orlando is the Place for a Green Roof?

More and more people are turning to green roofs for their homes and office buildings. And, no, we don’t mean by installing shingles that are painted green!

Green roofs are an exciting way to renovate your home to benefit both your family and the environment. One type of green roof is created by literally turning your building’s roof into a garden. Your roof will be covered with a waterproofing material, and then soil and plants are layered over that, creating a new yard that you can plant flowers, shrubs, trees – anything you like, that your roof will support. They help to reduce stormwater runoff, can help filter CO2 and pollutants out of the air, and even work to reduce outside noise bothering you, as soil acts as a sound insulator.
