Rooftop gardens, also commonly referred to as greenroofs, ecoroofs, living roofs and vegetated roofs, are becoming an increasingly important part of the architectural design process.  A well-designed rooftop garden can provide several benefits, including reduced energy use, reduced urban heat effect, reduced storm water runoff, increased air quality, increased green space and increased property value.

An important part of any rooftop garden, is the role Utelite E-Soil® products have with the growing media.  A planting media consisting of Utelite E-Soil® products, resists decomposition, provides excellent drainage and aeration, retains nutrients, will not clog filter systems, offers increased insulation, and is compatible with most rooftop garden or greenroof systems.
