Green Roof

I while ago I wrote about green roofs in 'Time to mow the roof', well, totally by chance I stumbled upon this UK company that will supply a sedum planted roof for your garden buildings. They build and supply a whole range of garden buildings, sheds and wooden garages, and will make them with this sedum roof to order, they can also retro fit an existing building if it is suitable.



Sedum is a small succulent plant that can grow in many inhospitable or inaccesable places such as rock faces, ledges or walls and seems to be ideal for this type of application.

Such a roof has many environmental benefits including putting back some of which was removed by installing the building in the first place, removing CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to support local wildlife, as well as providing additional insulation for the building itself.

It's always good to find a company, that goes above and beyond what a similar company may offer, and Taylors Garden Buildings (www.taylorsgardenbuildings.co.uk) is one that certainly appears to do so.
