Roof garden construction
Roof garden construction from design to completion
Building a roof garden is the way to turn a flat roof into a green living space. Green roof specialist guides you from the initial design to the complete construction and aftercare. This creates a sustainable outdoor space that not only looks beautiful, but also contributes to a better climate and more living enjoyment.
Why build a roof garden?
A roof garden offers much more than just greenery. It is a place to relax, host guests or simply enjoy flowers and plantings on top of your roof. In addition, a roof garden provides benefits to the environment:
additional living space in the middle of the city
cooling during hot days
better water storage during rain
longer life of the roofing material

How is a roof garden constructed?
Building a roof garden requires a careful approach. Our specialists supervise the entire process – from the initial inspection to the final delivery. This way you can be sure that your roof garden will not only be beautiful, but also durable and safe.
Step 1: Preparation and roof check
Before we start, we examine whether your roof is suitable for a roof garden. We look at bearing capacity, roof construction and the condition of the roof covering. If necessary, we advise on reinforcement or insulation. We also discuss your wishes and style preferences together.
Step 2: Design and permits
Based on your wishes, we create a design. Consider the layout of seating areas, walkways, planters and plantings. If a permit is needed, we will help with the application. That way you avoid delays or unexpected obstacles.
Step 3: Materials and planting
Together, we choose sustainable materials and suitable plants. This can range from sedum and herbs to shrubs and small trees. Extras such as decking, lighting or irrigation systems are also included in this phase.
Step 4: Construction of the roof garden
Our professionals professionally lay out the roof garden. In doing so, we ensure a correct build-up of layers (root resistant layer, drainage layer, substrate and planting). Everything is neatly finished and coordinated with the design.
Step 5: Aftercare and maintenance
After installation, we provide advice on maintenance and, if desired, can offer a maintenance contract. This keeps your roof garden in optimal condition and you will enjoy a green living space for years to come.

Checklist for your roof garden
Creating a roof garden requires more than just placing plants. It starts with a good plan: how will you use the space, what functions do you want to add and what type of planting best suits your roof? At Green Roof Specialist, we guide you every step of the way, so that your roof garden is not only beautifully landscaped but also lasts for years.
During construction, we look together at the most important parts: do you want a seating area or terrace, for example, with a wooden decking or ceramic tiles? Or do you opt for walkways or a step path so that all parts of the roof garden are easily accessible? Lighting can be included directly during construction, from practical path lighting to atmospheric spotlights that allow you to enjoy your roof garden at night as well.
Opportunities during construction
In addition, much attention is paid to planting and layout. Think of high planting or partitions for extra privacy, solid planters or borders that provide structure, and perennials or trees for height and variation. Because this is directly included during construction, the basis of your roof garden is immediately solid.
Whether you opt for a simple installation with sedum and a few planters, or for a complete roof garden with a terrace, lighting and rich planting: Groendakspecialist.nl takes care of a professional installation from A to Z.
