Hydrotech Semi-intensive Garden Roof® Assembly
by Hydrotech Membrane Corporation
| Material Acceptance and Product Details
|
 The assembly incorporates a LiteTop® growing media that provides a firm structure for pedestrian areas while providing proper aeration for good root growth. Lawns require more water for proper establishment and long term growth. Hydrotech strongly recommends that a permanent irrigation be included in the assembly. Features of the Garden Semi-Intensive® Assembly:
A Garden Roof® Assembly can expand the livable space of a building through the integration of hardscaped areas with lush landscaped areas of lawn and other vegetation. The maintenance required for these spaces is similar to the care that would be required to maintain this space at grade. For more about maintenance, see Part 11 in the RGC Standard for Vegetated Roofs (Adapted from the manufacturer's summary)
