When to have a green roof installed?

Most green roofs are installed in the spring or fall. During those seasons, the plants take root better and the roof grows faster. Nevertheless, a green roof can in principle be installed in other periods as well, as long as the conditions are favorable. For larger projects or specific roofs, a prior inspection is always recommended.
