We see how concrete and chaos take over urban spaces, so our goal is to carve out a slice of nature right where you live or work. It's not just about looking good - it's about better air, a cooler home, and a place to just breathe. ### What Green Roofs Really Are A green roof is more than a few pots on a terrace. It's a living system - soil, plants, drainage, and sometimes even space to chill with friends. We turn forgotten rooftops into either lush, full-scale urban rooftop gardens or simple, tough patches that do their job quietly. ### Two Types to Pick From - **Intensive green roofs:** Big gardens with lawns, flower beds, shade, seating - the works. Good for anyone wanting to walk, sit, or even have a chai up there. - **Extensive green roofs:** These are for folks who want greenery but don't have time for too much upkeep. Low maintenance terrace garden, mostly hardy plants, needs less soil and less fuss. ### Old Buildings? No Problem Adding a green roof to an old building isn't a big headache for us. We know how to check for waterproofing, structure, and all the boring details so you can just enjoy the view. ### How We Work You don't need to be a plant expert. We sort out the design, installation, and give you simple tips to keep things alive. We're happy to help - chalo, let’s make your roof green and cool. ## Highlights Browse through Vertvista's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/vertvista/green-roofs/featured) - ![We designed this rooftop terrace as a complete urban escape.

Started out with a simple idea - bring nature back into everyday life. Mumbai’s concrete everywhere, na? We got tired of grey walls, so we decided to add some green. From big offices to tiny flats, we’ve done it all. Our moss art and vertical gardens even got a spot in High Street Phoenix. For us, plants aren’t just decoration, they change moods. Want a little jungle at home or work? We’re here. ### My work - **Green Space Solutions**: We do vertical garden installation, green roofs, preserved moss art, and biophilic office design for all kinds of spaces. - **Decor & Planters**: Our FRP planters Mumbai come in cool textures, plus unique stuff like levitating planter decor for that extra wow. - **City-Friendly Greenery**: Green facades, privacy screens, and rooftop gardens that tackle heat and make your brand look fresh. - **Pan-India Reach**: We take up projects all over India, not just Mumbai. New builds or old, we make them green. ## More services from Vertvista - [Levitating Decor & Accessories](https://mytribe.in/vertvista/levitating-decor-accessories) · ₹22-55K per piece (estimate) - [Biophilic Design & Green Space Consulting](https://mytribe.in/vertvista/biophilic-design-green-space-consulting) · ₹400-1,500 per sq. ft.
