Florida Green Roof Photos, MetroVerde, Jacksonville

Shown here are a few photos of the various field trial green roofs at MetroVerde and a few from a LEED Platinum project we are installing now.  As April leaves and May approaches we reflect back on and extremely dry, desiccating spring.  During this climatic condition we were pleasantly surprised to see the more cost-effective economy green roofs out-preform the more expensive built in place and tray systems.

How are these roofs now? Almost a year has passed... I hope the owners have taken good care of 'em. Green roofs need a lot of maintenance, especially on a very hot summer.
