Featured Rooftop Gardens and Green Roof Installations
Transforming grey urban rooftops into vibrant, breathable ecosystems. Explore our selection of diverse green roof projects, from lightweight installations to fully functional terrace gardens.
We designed this rooftop terrace as a complete urban escape. The space combines a lush lawn, warm wooden decking, and a custom-built pergola with a hammock, creating a perfect spot for relaxation with stunning city views.
This project demonstrates how we create structured and functional rooftop gardens. We incorporated neat pathways, raised planters with dense hedges for privacy, and patches of green lawn, turning this roof into a walkable, modern park in the sky.
This image showcases an extensive green roof system we installed. The greenery is integrated directly onto the sloped roof surfaces of the building, providing insulation and aesthetic benefits with minimal maintenance requirements.
Proving that rooftop gardens can support significant plant life, this project features a mature tree as its centerpiece. We engineered the space to accommodate larger root systems, creating a rich, biodiverse habitat high above the city.
We specialize in transforming complex architectural spaces. Here, we installed a pristine lawn on a sloped section of a multi-level roof, seamlessly connecting the built environment with natural elements.
About Featured
Before we install a single plant, we assess your roof's load capacity and existing waterproofing. Whether you are planning a lightweight extensive system to insulate your home against the heat or a heavy-duty intensive garden for hosting, we manage the drainage layers, root-barrier membranes, and automated irrigation so your structure remains safe and dry while the plants thrive.
Turning Your Roof Into a Garden
A rooftop garden is more than just placing pots on a terrace. It is a calculated intervention designed to handle Mumbai's heat and humidity. Our projects typically fall into two categories, and choosing the right one depends on your building's structural health and your lifestyle.
Intensive Recreational Gardens If you want a space for weekend chai, yoga, or small gatherings, we build intensive gardens. These require deeper soil (12 to 18 inches) to support larger shrubs, privacy hedges, or even small trees. Because this adds significant weight, we perform a full structural assessment to ensure your roof is ready for the load. We include pathways, dedicated seating zones, and smart, zone-based irrigation systems to keep the greenery lush with minimal manual effort.
Extensive Green Roofs For those who want the environmental benefits of a green roof without the active maintenance, we install extensive systems. These are lightweight, usually keeping the saturated weight under 100kg per square meter. We use a proprietary soil-less media and hardy ground cover like Mexican lawn or sedum, which makes these perfect for retrofitting onto older buildings that might not handle heavy loads. These systems excel at thermal insulation, lowering indoor temperatures and protecting your slab from direct sunlight.
Why Start Now
Urban planning in cities like Mumbai often leaves little room for natural elements. By converting your unused rooftop or terrace, you create a private green zone that improves air quality and adds value to your property. We handle everything from the initial waterproofing protection to the final installation of drip lines and timers, so you don't need a background in farming to get started.
