Extensive green roofs are a popular option for homeowners as they are lightweight and require very little maintenance,
with no need for additional watering unless there is a prolonged drought.
They are suitable for both existing and new build roof decks.

around 80 - 100mm high such as grass, moss, sedum or small flowers.
