we are green roof specialists
Our green roofing solutions can support wildlife, improve insulation and add extra colour to any garden
Having a living, breathing green roof can bring wildlife, birds and insects into any development. Not only that but it can improve air quality and provide additional insulation.
Transform a shed or outbuilding with a natural design feature. It will help make any garden a wildlife sanctuary. Create a natural paradise with Meadowmat wildflower turf and let your backyard burst with colour. Not just with wildflower turf but also using plants, seeds or plugs.
Harrowden can also deliver a complete extensive green roof solution. From flat roof and pitched roof kits, to self contained sedum trays and extensive sedum blankets for large scale green roof developments. Harrowden has one of the lightest, most tried and trusted sedum solutions on the market.
Our sedum roofing plants are rich in pollen and nectar. This makes them a great food source for bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths. Available in a pitched or flat roof kit, our sedum roofing can help a garden building blend in whilst adding real interest.
Our flat green roof kit comes with everything you need to create a delightful green roof, full of plants and flowers.
There are several components in our kit. A root barrier to make sure the plants cannot damage your waterproofing. Next comes a layer of specially engineered drainage mat to protect against damage to the sedum roof and building. This matting ensures that excess water is wicked away from the roots, keeping your flat green roof secure and healthy.
Build a self-contained green roof the easy way. Green roof trays come complete with sedum and substrate. So you can team them with green roof edging and a fleece protection layer to create the simplest green roof solution.
Heritage Meadowmat® was originally developed to meet the demand for a quick-to-install green roofing material with instant plant coverage. It does that job admirably and has brought biodiversity to some amazing living roofs throughout the UK. But it also brings a splash of colour to gardens.
Birds & Bees Floral Focus can also be used on green roofs and is a truly colourful blend of wildflower species. It will be irresistible to butterflies, bees, moths and hoverflies. Most of the plant species are perennial.
When laying the foundations for a rooftop garden, garden soil won’t do the job. So we developed our own green roof substrate. It has great water retention properties and a low-nutrient base. So it provides the ideal growing medium for establishing and nurturing green roofs.
Cobbles are recommended for use on green roof installations as a fire break. They provide free draining areas as well as supporting habitat creation on biodiverse roofs. Cobbles should be installed in accordance with the GRO code – installed 300mm wide around all perimeters, including rooflights and rain outlets.
Build a self-contained green roof the easy way by using our green roof tray system. Our green roof trays come complete with sedum and substrate, meaning you can team them with green roof edging and a fleece protection layer to create the simplest green roof solution.
