Good Things Growin’ on the Roof

Case in point is the roof garden. Why would you want plants growing atop your home sweet home? Consider this for a moment -- What if you lived in Laguna Beach and craved a larger garden? You step outside the door and realize what you’ve suspected all along – there just isn’t enough room for another crop of lettuce and tomatoes. But you’re far from out of luck. Laguna Beach roofers see a ray of hope headed in your direction. You can farm lettuce, tomatoes, and whatever other plant life your heart desires atop your very own roof.    

Also known as a green roof, a roof garden is a large raised-bed containing flowers and plants personally selected by you.  These gardens offer various advantages, starting with a certain aesthetic appeal. They just look good up there – assuming thoughtful design has been applied. And depending on what’s being grown, it may taste good, as well. A variety of farmable goodies, including lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots can thrive atop your home.

Getting your roof garden started is fairly straightforward. After your roof has been thoroughly prepared by a qualified commercial roofing contractor, your garden will be ready for planting. Essentially, there are two ways in which this can be accomplished.
