Green roofs and roof gardens

What we do

Professional advice and guidance for every project

A green roof or roof garden is a smart investment for private individuals, architects, government authorities, and project developers committed to sustainability, climate solutions, and high-quality outdoor spaces. With the right structure, vegetation, and technical expertise, a green roof not only increases a building’s value but also enhances living comfort and quality of life.

Benefits of a green roof

Green roofs provide excellent insulation, buffer rainwater, enhance biodiversity, and extend the lifespan of a roof structure. While the availability of subsidies for green roofs is driving rapid growth in demand, a proper technical assessment remains essential to avoid risks such as leaks or structural overloading.

Rooftop gardens: green living space at a height

For densely built-up areas or urban environments, roof gardens are an ideal solution for creating additional outdoor space. With a professional analysis of load-bearing capacity and the use of appropriate materials, it is even possible to safely incorporate trees, shrubs, and intensive plantings.

Approach

From idea to realization

Every project begins with a thorough understanding of the site and the requirements. Groencoach guides the process from initial exploration through to design and realization, with a focus on ecology, feasibility, and long-term quality.

Introduction and analysis

During an initial meeting, we will explore the site’s potential together and discuss your wishes and expectations. We will analyze the soil, water, location, and intended use to establish a clear starting point for the project.

Design and development

Based on the analysis, a well-considered design or set of recommendations is developed. Planting, water management, and site layout are tailored to the context and the intended use. The result is a clear plan that is both ecologically sound and practical.

Guidance and implementation

Groencoach oversees the further development of the project and, where necessary, can draw upon a network of reliable professionals for its execution. This ensures that the design is accurately translated into reality and that every project is brought to life with great care.
