Green Roof Installation Service in Washington DC

Transform your Washington DC property with our professional green roof installation services. As the capital's leading sustainable roofing experts, we bring nature to urban spaces while combating the city's growing urban heat island effect (UHIE).



Our green roof installations help reduce energy costs by up to 30% through evapotranspiration cooling, potentially decreasing cooling demand by up to 84% during high temperatures. These living systems improve local air quality by absorbing pollutants and preventing additional air pollution while supporting urban biodiversity.

We design customized green roof solutions that comply with DC's Green Area Ratio Rule, which requires all new buildings to meet specific landscape-to-land-area ratios. Our installations feature drought-resistant sedum and native plants that thrive with minimal maintenance in DC's climate.

Washington DC leads the nation in green roof implementation, with over 1 million square feet installed since 2017. Our systems help property owners qualify for valuable incentives, including the RiverSmart Rooftops Green Roof Rebate Program, which offers $10 per square foot for residential extensive green roofs (up to $6,000) and $10-$20 per square foot for commercial properties (up to $20,000).

Our comprehensive process includes structural load analysis, waterproofing assessment, and modular installation of pre-planted trays containing soil, drainage layers, and fertilizer. These systems effectively manage stormwater runoff, reducing Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) volume—a significant environmental challenge in the District.

Partner with us to enhance your property value while contributing to DC's environmental resilience and sustainability goals for 2025 and beyond.

We install complete green roof systems featuring high-quality waterproof membranes and specialized drainage mats. Our layered approach ensures proper water retention and distribution throughout the system.



Each installation includes root barriers, growing medium, and carefully selected vegetation suited to DC's climate zones. We handle projects of all sizes, from small residential roofs to large commercial buildings.

Our installations comply with DC's strict stormwater management regulations and building codes. We use premium materials that meet ASTM standards for maximum durability and performance.

We create custom green roof designs that reflect each building's unique characteristics and our clients' preferences. Our plant selection process focuses on species that thrive in DC's humid subtropical climate.

Our botanists select drought-resistant plants that require minimal maintenance. We incorporate native species that support local biodiversity and contribute to LEED certification points.



The design phase includes detailed structural analysis and load calculations. We map out irrigation systems and determine optimal soil depths for sustained plant health.

Our green roof systems capture and filter stormwater effectively, reducing runoff by up to 60-80%. We engineer precise drainage patterns to prevent water pooling and structural stress.



The systems include moisture sensors and monitoring equipment to track performance. We design overflow mechanisms that comply with DC's stormwater regulations.

Each solution features strategically placed drainage points and retention layers. Our systems help properties meet EPA requirements while reducing water utility costs.

We assess existing green roofs and develop targeted repair strategies. Our renovation services update outdated systems with modern materials and improved drainage solutions.



Our repair work includes leak detection and membrane restoration. We replace damaged components while preserving viable existing elements to control costs.

We upgrade irrigation systems and adjust soil compositions as needed. Our team can transform underperforming green roofs into thriving ecosystems that meet current standards.
