The company's GRO modular systems consist of a pre-planted, installation-ready series of roof layers: drainage, filter fabric, growing media and established groundcover cacti species. The modular design of the roofs has several benefits, including reduced installation time (with no need for roofing membrane preparation), and the ability to arrange/rearrange the roof as needed around HVAC and other equipment and for repairs. Green roofs can help prevent damage to the roofing membrane with temperature fluctuation and UV-exposure protection. From an environmental perspective, the roofs can negate “heat island effect” (where the temperatures of cities are higher than rural areas), and are eligible for several LEED credits. The roof systems can be installed anywhere in the U.S.
