NATS Nursery Ltd. is a registered grower and distributer of the LiveRoof Modular System. This is a fantastic green roof option for an instant-green effect. MODULE SPECIFICATIONS:
The LiveRoof tray is 12" by 24" long and 4" deep with the soil elevators.
The soil elevators are removed after the tray is locked into surrounding trays, for a seamless look.
On the roof, the tray is laid upon the waterproof membrane and slip sheet. The borders are then completed with edging.
The growing time varies according to the time of year that the project is being installed.
Generally it is 12-18 weeks for staple species. Specialty mixes may take longer
to propagate. Download the LiveRoof Catalogue here. New!
