Large Scale Green Roofs

Sustainable Solutions for Urban Spaces

At Up Top Acres, we specialize in large scale green roof installations that bring nature back into urban environments. As cities continue to expand, green infrastructure is crucial in creating more sustainable, livable spaces. Our green roof systems help reduce urban heat, improve air quality, and offer environmental and economic benefits to businesses, developers, and property owners.

What is a Large Scale Green Roof?

A large scale green roof is a vegetative layer installed on top of a building to provide environmental and aesthetic benefits. These roofs can span commercial, residential, and public buildings, offering everything from stormwater management to energy savings. Green roofs come in two main types:

  • Extensive Green Roofs – Lightweight, low-maintenance systems with drought-resistant plants, ideal for energy efficiency and stormwater absorption.

  • Intensive Green Roofs – Heavier, garden-like installations that can support trees, shrubs, and walkways, providing functional outdoor spaces.

Benefits of Installing a Large Scale Green Roof

Investing in a large green roof system offers numerous advantages for both businesses and communities, including:

  • Improved Energy Efficiency – Green roofs insulate buildings, reducing heating and cooling costs year-round.

  • Stormwater Management – Absorbs rainwater, preventing runoff and reducing strain on municipal drainage systems.

  • Air Quality Enhancement – Filters pollutants from the air, contributing to healthier urban environments.

  • Biodiversity & Urban Agriculture – Provides a habitat for pollinators, birds, and plant life, supporting biodiversity in cities.

  • Increased Property Value – Adds aesthetic appeal and long-term financial benefits to properties.

  • Urban Cooling Effect – Reduces the urban heat island effect, lowering city temperatures and enhancing outdoor comfort.
