Intensive green roofs incorporate plants that require regular maintenance, such as watering and fertilizing. Intensive green roofs are characterized by their increased weight and capital cost, and their intensive planting and higher maintenance requirements.

Vegetative roofing is one of the most exciting developments in sustainable building design. Depending on load capabilities and other application-driven requirements, RAMCON’s Vegetative Roofing Solutions offer the opportunity to develop your own urban oasis, completely or partially surrounded by herbs, grasses, flowers, even trees, in a variety of colors, textures, scents and heights to meet your individual desires. With the addition of deck or pedestal mounted paver systems, roof-top patios and walkways reclaim unused space allowing you to observe and enjoy your investment in a sustainable, renewable Vegetative Roofing Solution.

Extensive green roofs are ideally suited for locations that will receive little or no maintenance, or where structural capabilities are a concern. Extensive green roofs are thinner and have fewer layers than Intensive green roofs. They are characterized by their low weight, low capital cost and low maintenance.
