A garden is necessary for a healthy home. But people who lives in the cities might not have the space for a garden. Even though the concept of Green Roof came into being for these people, those who do not have such limitations are also attracted towards the idea of Green Roof. The reason for the growing popularity of green roof is the availability of a little private space along with a place for greenery .

Anything that grows in a normal garden can be grown on the roof . But the major part of Green Roof is the lawn. The new style is to artificially create miniature hills & valleys & to attach lawns on these. To increase the beauty of these lawns we can plant other plants. We can plant the plants by filling mud on the roof itself. But it is better not to select plants that have huge roots for the Green Roof. There are chances that the roots will create leakages in the Roof. It is common to keep trees like palms also on the Roof. Then around such trees we can keep metal rings & reduce the depth of the roots. It is most safe to keep such trees in the pots.

Since flowering plants require a lot of sunshine we can include plants like rose, bougainvillea etc in the Green Roof. Planting in the Roof garden will help the plant to produce big flowers with rich color. Usually the attack of insects & pests is seen to be less in the Green Roof

Since there is a lot of sunshine falling on the Roof grasses like Mexican grass, Korean grass will grow with a nice green color. And if we cut the grass beautifully even the buffalo grass will grow nicely. When we plant the Korean & Mexican grasses it will cost 10 to 20 $ per square feet even without waterproofing. If it is buffalo grass it will cost from 5 to 10 $ .

Those who find it difficult to maintain lawns can use artificial lawns. Even though it looks like natural lawn it is slightly more costly than the natural one.
