Seattle Landscaper creates eco-friendly home in Everett

Green roof in Everett, Washington saves energy and increases garden space.

We are always researching new plants, materials, methods and technologies to offer our clients. Through experimentation we learn how a material performs and can confidently refer it to our clientele.

Environmental Construction Landscape Project:

• Added additional framing and waterproofing to the existing studio roof.
• Installed Amergreen™ roof drainage mats and Netafim® sub-surface irrigation.
• Created an “intensive” green roof using 6 inches of lightweight soil medium.
• Planted drought tolerant plants with year round interest including: sedums & sempervivums, grasses, sand strawberries and herbs.
• Benefits of green roofs include improved insulation rating, greatly increased roof lifespan, reduction of roof water runoff.
• For this installation we made provisions to connect to a future water collection system that will serve the house downspouts and a permeable driveway.

Landscapers build a durable frame for the green roof.

We use a large conveyor truck to place the soil on the roof.

Landscapers spread organic soil, ideal for plant growth.

Strawberries and groundcovers are planted in the soil to create an energy-efficient and eco-friendly home.
