Metro Green Visions, Inc. introduces MGV GroRoof™ Hybrid Green Roof System March 29, 2011 -- Dix Hills, NY. MGV GroRoof™, a new modular green roof system designed and developed by Metro Green Visions, is poised to make a strong impact in the marketplace. Offering the best of both worlds, the MGV GroRoof™ installs like a modular tray system, but functions and appears like a monolithic extensive green roof.  According to Steven Dubner, President, Metro Green Visions, “MGV GroRoof™ was born out of a necessity to meet the challenge of creating an extensive green roof that was as aesthetically pleasing as that of a built-in-place system, but as easy to handle and install as a modular system. After decades of experience in the landscape contracting and nursery business, and many rooftop garden installations, it became apparent to me that the majority of green roof systems available were inefficient and/or ineffectual. Frustration with the amount of steps these systems required as well as the time consuming efforts it took to handle the cumbersome units led me to design and develop my own system.” The resulting MGV GroRoof™ is a pre-vegetated hybrid modular system that is quick and easy to install, cost effective, and instantly beautiful.
The system was created with both horticultural and functional concerns in mind. “I firmly believe its optimal drainage, aeration, water holding capacity and removable side walls make the MGV GroRoof™ unique to the market and an asset to the industry,” said Dubner.  Green roofs help to restore the ecosystem and human habitat. As urban development depletes the natural landscape, green roofs can compensate for this loss of green space. Among their many benefits, low maintenance extensive green roofs promote biodiversity, help to mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect, reduce stormwater runoff, and can significantly extend the lifespan of a roof.
