Intensive green roof soil

Green roofing is a highly relevant topic, especially in urban areas! On one hand, it helps retain water, which then evaporates through the plants. This creates a significant cooling effect in summer and improves the microclimate. On the other hand, it creates additional habitats. With the right soil and construction, complete garden installations can be created on rooftops!

Our intensive green roof soil is a ready-to-use soil applied in layers 10–50 cm thick. Planting or sowing is done directly into this soil.

Large containers and concrete troughs with permanent plantings have similar conditions to rooftops—therefore, our intensive green roof soil is also the optimal substrate for these applications.

We use exclusively the hardest and 100% frost-resistant brick chippings from our own production (made from clay roof tiles). This ensures that our green roof soil remains stable and permeable for years.

Thanks to the use of pure clay roof tiles, our material has a beautiful red color that really stands out after the first rain. Even without planting, this soil is an eye-catcher!

Brick chippings (frost-resistant, grain size 2–12 mm) and compost

Screening: 15 mm

Dry bulk density: 1.2 t/m³

Water-saturated bulk density: 1.8 t/m³

The brick chippings proportion ranges from 50% to 80% depending on substrate requirements. Special blends with lava, Leca, perlite, or other additives are also available upon request.
