  • Extends Roof Life – The robust nature of rooftop installations adds years to the normal lifespan of a roof.
  • Enhances Resale Value – The investment in a rooftop or balcony garden adds to overall appear of your home, which can drive up its resale value.
  • Supports Bio-diversity – The habitat created by a rooftop or balcony garden increases bio-diversity and attracts bees, butterflies and birds.
