As an option for many of our garden buildings we offer a green roof system
using Sedums, a stunning effect is created offering an environmentally friendly
building. When you install any garden building you will probably remove foliage, be it
grass, borders or even weeds, you could replace the lost environment with a
green roof on your garden building helping to maintain the balance.
| We have introduced an
unusual concept to our range of garden buildings. Instead of tiles or
felt we are offering as an option a green roof for your shed, log cabin,
playhouse or summerhouse, in fact any building you require. The system we
are using is a landscaping matting with sedum plants grown within it, the
buildings roof is strengthened where necessary to accept the covering
 |
 |
This matting is a living carpet for outdoor use, it has the following
features:
- One of the lowest maintenance products available in the UK
- Grown onto a special matting that gives strength and versatility
- It comes with mature plants having been grown for 18 months, the sedum
plants are already established in a life time of growing medium
- It includes a mixture of of flowering sedums to give all year round colour
and texture
- Never needs mowing, weeding or deadheading
- It attracts wildlife

The Sedumn is a group of succulent plants and
are a member of the Crassulaceae family. The word Sedum is taken
from the Latin word Sedo which means to sit and refers to the way
that the sedums seem to sit on rocks, ledges, walls and many other
inhospitable places.
Sedums are very tolerant and although not drought proof they can survive
and are in fact at home in poor soil and dry conditions. |

| The sedum green plants can help minimise the
damage done to our environment, this system is used throughout the country
and can be found on many green roof buildings. The bring benefits to
areas that otherwise may remain bare, especiallly when fitting our larger
buildings, a large area can be taken from the original environment. This
roof system:
- Attracts wildlife and provides a food source for butterflies, bees and
many insects. It is a safe place for creatures to live and to over
winter in. Birds feed on the insects and the seed heads and any dead
stalks are used by them for nesting.
- It is relatively drought resistant and needs little watering.
- Absorbs Carbon dioxide which, as is well known, reduce global warming
and improves air quality by releasing oxygen
|
We either manufacture a building for you to accept this roof
or we can modify if necessary any buildings from our extensive range, we can
also if required retro fit this system to your own building. The only
limitation is the the sedums cannot be grown on an angle greater than 30°
without an irrigation system.
