American Hydrotech’s Garden Roof® Assembly allows the design professional to transform virtually any flat or sloped roof (up to 12:12 pitch) into a landscaped environment. Designed as a lightweight, low profile system, the Garden Roof® Assembly can be safely installed on roof and plaza decks not engineered to handle the heavy load requirements of a traditional green roof. And because the assembly incorporates a proven roofing/waterproofing membrane, Hydrotech’s Monolithic Membrane 6125®, the building owner can be assured of a water-tight structure.

The Garden Roof® Assembly provides building owners and tenants with many ecological, technical and economic benefits. Some of the advantages of the Garden Roof® Assembly include:

  • Enhances building’s appearance
  • Adds space for tenant use and recreation
  • Reduces the “Urban Heat Island” problem
  • Controls stormwater – retain 50%-90% of a typical rain fall on the roof
  • Improves building’s energy efficiency
  • Processes airborne toxins and re-oxygenates the air
  • Creates therapeutic and peaceful environments
  • Offers a Total Assembly Warranty… from the deck up
  • Extensive or Intensive Garden Roof® assemblies…

The Extensive Garden Roof® is ideally suited for locations that will receive little or no maintenance, or where structural capabilities are a concern. An Intensive Garden Roof® incorporates plants that require regular maintenance, such as watering, fertilizing and mowing.
