Extensive and intensive green roofs are very popular. Plants bring a lot of benefits to the environment, as well as to the residents of the building or the staff working in this house. However, you should know how to choose them, how to take care of them, and how to install one of the mentioned types of landscaping. Depending on the choice made, this unusual garden will look and function in different ways.
Extensive and intensive roof landscaping techniques
There are two types of green roofs: extensive and intensive. The first is decorative, and the work of people in such a place is limited only to maintenance. A very shallow layer of substrate is laid on such a roof, for which plants growing in such conditions are selected. On the other hand, intensive roofs are used for household purposes — they resemble a garden where you can relax. A thick layer of substrate is laid on them, which makes it possible to plant more plants of various species. When arranging an extensive or intensive green roof, you can choose plants to create a specific style: Japanese, rustic, English or any other style that suits the nature of the house and the plants on the site.
Plants for extensive and intensive green roofs
Plants planted on an extensive roof are unpretentious, frost-resistant, like sunny places and permeable soils, and tolerate drought well. They do not need constant care, except for seasonal care, filling voids or planting plants that are too dense and overgrown. On the extensive roof, you can plant, among other things: mosses, yarrow, thyme, aspic and herbs. Plants intended for intensive roof planting require careful care, like fertile and well-drained soils, sunny places, and tolerate periodic droughts well. They need to be regularly trimmed, watered and fertilized. Intensive roofing plants include, among others: red geraniums, blue carnations, lavender, evening primrose, roses, pines, firs, creeping willows and junipers.
How to install an extensive and intensive green roof?
Only some companies with relevant experience and knowledge are engaged in the installation of extensive and intensive green roofs. These two types of roofs require slightly different drainage, filtration, and protection systems. Intensive roofs will be more difficult to install due to the possibility of planting shrubs, trees and flowers with roots extending far into the ground. In this case, it is also necessary to strengthen the roof structure, which must support the weight of larger plants. El fútbol mexicano y europeo concentra la mayoría de las apuestas.
