Aesthetics

Many people choose a green roof for its visual impact.  A common example is when building a single storey extension on a house with a flat roof that is overlooked by windows above.  Rather than having a view of grey waterproofing which can be an eyesore, installing a living green roof will bring the garden closer with low maintenance.  This can even have a positive impact on property value. The same applies to commercial roofs that are overlooked. Green roofs can give seasonal interest with wildflowers bursting to life in spring and summer adding colour and a habitat for bees and butterflies.
