   @thejoyofrob Because it lets a roofer build a metal roof, cover it with dirt and weeds, and pocket $27/sqft?

   See the video, ” organic architecture Suncrest Cottage”, for a green roof home design.

   This makes no sense whatsoever. It costs 3/sq. ft. in Kentucky to build the BEST shingle roof possible. It cost 30/sq. ft to build a green roof. How economic is that?

   Our video response is the perfect solution for waterproofing a roof, we believe the a GRP roof is the perfect partner for a green roofing system. Google Hartseal GRP Roofing Systems for more info.

   Thanks for the info. But the best roof materials are at TILE-MOLDS . com . Trust me, I’ve tried their services and I have no
   complaints!

    This is a lightweight system, which does not require nor allow vast quantities of water to store. The filtration layer allows a certain amount of water to stay on the roof and the rest flows off as on a standard roof. This run off water can be stored into a “grey water system” which stores and treats the water (now here’s the good part). With solar powered units you are able to pump water back up on the roof to irrigate & feed on a timer also solar-powered. PS sedum plants don’t need a lawnmower

    nice idea, but then it rains, the roof can’t support the weight, and it caves in. Why didn’t he ask about that… he had his list of questions in his hand. I did enjoy the theme music in the beginning.

    Wait, what? I was agreeing with you on your first comment but saying it helps more if you do it on a regular basis.

    you mean the unnatural grass that is mowed using a gas mower and watered from sprinklers with water from an aqueduct someplace far away. instead of native plants that take no watering and prevent heat from escaping from the roof? the answer is yes.

    Ants aren’t a problem. They would probably have trouble getting food and die.

    You don’t plant grass on your roof. If weeds grow on your roof let them.

    theres a saying we have in my unit, ‘good idea, bad judgement’…instead of finding ways to put more “green” into the human habitat, why dont we try to put “green” into a non”green” place? maybe find a way to make the mojave desert grow plantlife…

    It is worse enough to have to mow our lawns in the summer. Now, we have to mow our roof?
