Green roofs – extensive & intensive
Green roofs from a landscape gardener: extensive and intensive planting for flat roofs, garages and carports – rainwater retention, insulation and habitat.
Green roofs for climate and wildlife
A green roof stores rainwater, insulates in summer and winter alike, creates habitat for insects and extends the life of the roof waterproofing. We design and build extensive and intensive green roofs – from carports to flat roofs.
Extensive or intensive?
- Extensive green roof: low-maintenance, thin build-up, drought-tolerant sedum, moss and herb species – ideal for garages, carports and outbuilding roofs.
- Intensive green roof: a walkable roof garden with perennials, grasses, trees and shrubs, deeper substrate and regular maintenance – like a garden on the roof.
The right build-up
On top of the tested, root-resistant roof waterproofing come root protection, a drainage and water-retention layer, filter fleece and a substrate suited to the site – only then the planting. We coordinate the structural engineering and waterproofing with the relevant specialists.
Your benefits
- Rainwater retention and less strain on the sewer system
- Insulation and cooling for a more pleasant indoor climate
- Habitat for insects and greater biodiversity
- Protection and a longer life for the roof waterproofing
- Eligible for funding in many municipalities
Projects we look after long term
- Residential complex in Garmisch-Partenkirchen: created by us and maintained for over 12 years – a green roof that becomes more valuable with every year.
- Kaufland green roof (2025): large-scale greening on a commercial scale.
Whether it's a private outbuilding roof or a commercial property – we plan, build and maintain the green roof, all from a single source.
Greenery on the wall – indoors too
A planted wall is simply a planting area set upright: it needs a load-bearing system, a controlled water supply and plants that cope with the available light. In our office in Lenggries, there is just such a wall in the entrance area – behind glass, set into old timber, with ferns and foliage plants.
For you, it is above all a showcase: you can see how densely such a wall grows over the years, how the technology disappears and how much maintenance is really involved. We plan façade and indoor greening on the same principles – just on a larger scale.
