Vegetative roofing systems are attractive and make good sense for reducing the urban heat island effect. They are trendy, cool, durable, sustainable, energy-efficient and high-performing. We encourage you to do your homework upfront and hire an installer with roofing expertise along with training and experience in the installation of green roofs. In the Traverse City area, you can check out a Springfield vegetative roof at the Regatta Building’s north entrance at the corner of 8th and Cass.
