Green Roofs: Have Your Roof and Eat it Too

Published on Nov 29, 2012

Roger Grothe, Aloha Landscaping, Inc. shows how a green roof is built on a custom cottage along the St. Croix River in Wisconsin USA. A special pumice-based soil is used to correct a poorly installed green roof. The pumice-based soil has a 1,300% smaller carbon footprint than traditional expanded shale-based green roof soils. It ain't green if it ain't green.
