Professionals

6. Whom shall I contact for the installation of a green roof - a roofer or a landscaper?

Green roofs are often installed with roofing and landscaping companies working cooperatively. Roofers specialize more in load bearing capacity, waterproofing, and thermal insulation aspects; whereas, landscapers specialize more in vegetation, substrate and plants.

No matter which professional is hired, it is always good to check their reference list before hand.

As the market becomes more mature, such as the pioneer green roof market in Germany, professional companies specializing in green roof installation will develop and referencing reliable companies will become easier.
