LiveRoof® Modular Green Roof System
Fully vegetated, locally grown green roofs designed for performance in Prairie climates

EcoLogic Horticulture is the licensed LiveRoof® grower and supplier for Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, providing locally grown green roof systems tailored to Prairie conditions.

LiveRoof® is a modular green roof system delivered fully vegetated, allowing projects to achieve a complete, functional green roof immediately upon installation.

Backed by millions of square feet installed across North America and extensive regional project experience, LiveRoof combines proven system design with locally adapted plant production and expert support.

When LiveRoof®
Is the Right Choice

LiveRoof® is ideal when:

  • Projects require immediate green roof performance (no grow-in period)
  • Designers want predictable outcomes and reduced establishment risk
  • Buildings aim to meet stormwater, energy, or green space requirements
  • Projects require a modular system for efficient installation
  • Long-term success depends on locally adapted plant material

This is the right system when performance, speed, and certainty matter.

Built for Instant
Beauty in the Sky

  • LiveRoof® modules are grown to maturity in controlled outdoor nursery conditions before delivery.
  • Each module arrives with fully established vegetation and root systems, eliminating the risks associated with traditional “brown roof” installations that require years to establish.
  • The system is designed to function immediately, providing stormwater management, insulation benefits, and visual impact from day one.

LiveRoof® is a fully vegetated modular green roof system where each unit is grown to maturity before it ever reaches the building. Unlike traditional systems that require years of establishment, LiveRoof® delivers an instantly functional green roof with mature plants, established roots, and full coverage at installation.

The patented system design allows modules to integrate into a continuous soil layer, enabling moisture, nutrients, and root systems to move naturally across the roof, eliminating the compartmentalization seen in typical modular systems.

Because EcoLogic grows these systems locally using outdoor production methods, the plants are climate-acclimated and hardened, reducing transplant shock and improving long-term performance in Prairie environments.

Common
applications
include:

  • Commercial and institutional buildings
  • Municipal and public infrastructure projects
  • Healthcare and educational facilities
  • Residential and multi-family developments
  • Retrofit and new construction green roofs

Shipping

  • Modules are shipped fully grown and ready for installation, minimizing on-site work.
  • Delivered on hoppits for efficient crane or rooftop staging.
  • Root systems and vegetation are established prior to shipping, reducing handling risk.
  • Delivery is aligned with installation schedules to ensure optimal plant condition.
  • Locally grown production reduces transport stress and improves plant performance.

Installation

  • Modules are placed directly onto the roof assembly, creating instant coverage
  • Installation is fast and efficient compared to built-in-place systems
  • Modules fit together tightly, forming a continuous vegetated surface
  • System integrates with standard roofing assemblies and edge restraints
  • Suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications

Maintenance

  • Immediate plant coverage reduces weed pressure and erosion risk
  • Routine maintenance includes periodic inspection, selective weeding, and annual trimming
  • Irrigation may be required depending on system depth and climate
  • Fertility management typically involves annual nutrient inputs
  • Long-term performance improves as systems mature and adapt to site conditions
