Sedum, flowers and water retention
This is how the species differ green roofs in Lelystad
There are various types of green roofs, and each requires something different from your roof. A sedum roof is the lightweight version, featuring sedum as vegetation—a succulent that requires little water and little maintenance. A flower roof has a thicker layer of substrate, with herbs, grass, and flowers that make the roof biodiverse. A roof with only grass is less common, because grass withers quickly in a dry summer. Retention roofs are built to hold excess rainwater and drain it slowly. With a green roof, planting follows installation, after which the vegetation requires occasional maintenance. A sedum roof requires the least work in this regard, while a flower roof requires the most.
There are various types of green roofs, and each places different demands on your roof. A sedum roof is the lightest version and requires little maintenance, while a flower roof with herbs is heavier and attracts more insects. Retention roofs hold excess rainwater. With a green roof, the planting of the vegetation follows the installation.

Benefits for you and your environment
What a green roof yields on your home in Lelystad
Below you can read what a green roof offers your home, and what you receive from us during the installation.
Rainwater harvesting during heavy showers
The substrate and vegetation retain rainwater and release it slowly. This reduces the load on the sewer system during a heavy downpour.
Cooling in the summer
The vegetation keeps the sun off the roof covering. As a result, it gets less hot under the roof.
Ten-year warranty
Because we use high-quality materials, you receive a ten-year warranty. This is documented both in writing and digitally.
Protection of the roof covering
The substrate covers the waterproof layer. This reduces its exposure to UV light and temperature fluctuations.
Plants and insects
Herbs and flowers on the roof attract insects. In this way, your roof contributes to a greener neighborhood.

Costs and subsidy
How much does a cost green roof in Lelystad?
Because we always take measurements first, the price for your green roof is fixed as soon as you receive our free quote. Should we find rotten wood during the work, we will call you first. There is a subsidy scheme for green roofs in Flevoland that can make a green roof more affordable. Please check with your municipality or the province to see if this scheme is currently open and what the conditions are.
Weight and roof structure
Is your roof suitable in Lelystad?
A green roof is usually installed on a flat or slightly sloping roof, on top of a waterproof layer such as bitumen roofing. A sedum roof weighs the least, while a flower roof or a retention roof places heavier pressure on the structure due to extra substrate or water. Not all roof structures bear that weight, as it depends on the construction and the condition of the roof.
What you want to know in advance
Questions about a green roof in Lelystad
Below you will find answers to questions about the benefits, advantages and disadvantages, and cooling of a green roof, as well as about installing one yourself. The answers are general in nature, because every roof and every roof structure is different.
A green roof collects rainwater, provides cooling in the summer, and offers space for plants and insects. In addition, the vegetation protects the roof covering underneath from the sun and large temperature fluctuations. In this way, a green roof contributes to a climate-resilient home and a greener street.
The benefits are water collection, cooling, and more greenery around your home. The disadvantages are the extra weight on the structure and the maintenance required by the planting. Not every roof can bear that weight, so it must first be determined what the roof structure can handle.
That varies per roof and per season, so a fixed number of degrees cannot be given. The vegetation keeps the sun off the roofing and the water in the substrate evaporates, causing the roof to become less hot than bare bitumen. You will notice this under the roof, especially in the summer.
You can install a small green roof on a shed or carport yourself using a ready-made kit. On a house, there is more to consider, such as load-bearing capacity, a root barrier, and a watertight seal at the roof edges. You will only notice a mistake in this when water collects under the vegetation.
Then your roof remains as it is, and as long as the roofing is in good condition, that is not a problem. If your bitumen needs to be replaced within a few years, that is the logical time for a green roof, because the roof structure is exposed anyway. This way, work on your roof only needs to be done once.

What do our say customers
RatingSuper satisfied! The roof inspection was completely free and we knew exactly where we stood right away, without any hassle afterwards.
Had new zinc cheeks and a neat bead moulding installed on the dormer. From the street side, it looks very sleek and handcrafted.
During a severe northwesterly storm, we experienced damp seeping in around the chimney in the attic. Nathaniel came to perform an inspection the very same day and showed with clear photos that the old leadwork was cracked. He immediately and expertly replaced the lead with durable, flexible roofing. Top-notch service and very pleasant to deal with!
