Metro Meadow by coolthinc
Metro Meadow is an instant green roof system. A hardy native plant selection is grown on the ground in mats, harvested from our nursery and ready to easily transport and placed onto a rooftop. The meadow community of Australian plants are adapted to harsh rooftop climates and provide year-round green coverage and a stunning floral display. Metro Meadow creates instant plant coverage, realising all the aesthetic and environmental benefits of green roofs from the time of installation.
Benefits
Green roofs create permeable surfaces that can intercept and absorb rainwater through plants and substrate, reducing stormwater runoff while filtering pollutants. Implementing green roofs can contribute to cooling temperatures, reducing the urban heat island effect where cities are hotter than the surrounding landscape due to the increase of impervious, heat-absorbing surfaces.
Australian native Plants
The meadow community consists of native Victorian plants. This community of plants was hand-selected to provide year-round green coverage and flushes of flowers from spring to autumn. Plants are adapted to native climates and shallow soils and will thrive in rooftop conditions. The plant community is a haven for biodiversity and flowering species will provide for local pollinators. The meadow will renew over time as plants will self-seed and spread.
easy Implementation
The implementation of Metro Meadow is designed for ease of use and instant results. The mats are delivered in rolls and can be placed directly onto the soil of your green roof. Simply transport the mats to the roof, place, and unroll. Mats are pre-cut into sizes that are manageable to move and easy to arrange on the rooftop with minimal cutting necessary. After placing the mats, water in, irrigate regularly, and watch the green roof flourish.
