More information about roof gardens in Rotterdam
Building a roof garden in Rotterdam requires knowledge and experience. Not every roof is immediately suitable, and often there are specific requirements from the municipality. We always start with a non-binding appointment in which we look at your roof and discuss what is possible. This is followed by a design that matches your wishes and the possibilities of the building. Then we arrange the complete construction, from substructure to plants, and we can also take care of the maintenance. In this way you are assured of a sustainable roof garden that you can enjoy for years to come.
Our experience with roof gardens in Rotterdam
At Groendakspecialist, we don’t just talk about the benefits of a roof garden – we have actually realized them in Rotterdam. For example, we recently successfully completed a project at a residential complex in Rotterdam-West. The flat roof of the building was completely transformed into a green living space that not only looks beautiful, but also directly contributes to a better living environment.
During this project we thought along with the residents and the VvE from the beginning. Together we investigated the possibilities for subsidies, the bearing capacity of the roof and the most suitable planting for the urban environment of Rotterdam. The result is a roof garden that ensures less heat stress, more biodiversity and a pleasant place where residents can come together and relax – right in the middle of the city.
Subsidy roof garden Rotterdam
The City of Rotterdam encourages residents and businesses to make the city greener and more climate-resistant. That is why there is the Green Roofs Subsidy. With this scheme you can get part of the cost of your roof garden reimbursed. Depending on the type of roof and planting, this can make a significant difference in the investment.
Applying for a grant can be quite complicated. We therefore help you step by step in completing and submitting the application, so that you can be sure to take full advantage of the possibilities. More information can also be found on the website of the municipality of Rotterdam.
Roof gardens in Rotterdam
In Rotterdam, interest in roof gardens is growing rapidly. More and more residents, apartment complexes and VvEs are discovering the benefits of a green outdoor space on the roof. A roof garden is the way to create extra living space, enjoy greenery together with neighbors and contribute to a more sustainable urban climate at the same time.
Especially in densely built-up neighborhoods such as the city center and surrounding districts, the value of a roof garden is becoming increasingly clear: less heat stress in summer, better water collection during heavy rainfall and a more attractive living environment. It is therefore not surprising that more and more initiatives are emerging to build a roof garden together in Rotterdam.
