Green Roof Installation

This is a 200 square foot residential Green Roof installation completed in the spring of 2009 in Lancaster County PA.  The structure was engineered to handle a weight load of up to 50 lbs per square foot.  The system installed is a LiveRoof  modular system that should soak up 99% of the first 1″ of rain.  www.liveroof.com

The video from the installation is a little rough or caddy wampus, but does a pretty good job of showing how simple a modular green roof installation can be.
