Roof landscaping: A green oasis in the heart of the city
Roof landscaping: A green oasis in the heart of the city
With increasing urbanization and decreasing green spaces, roof landscaping is established as one of the most innovative and sustainable solutions for creating a natural environment in the city. We believe in INO PARK, that every roof – regardless of whether it is on a residential building, office or industrial hall – has the potential to become a green haven, which improves life, the climate and vision of the urban environment.
Where it is appropriate to apply roof landscaping?
- Flat roofs and underground garages – Ideal for conversion into green spaces, which extend the life of the waterproofing and create visual peace of mind.
- Industrial buildings – Roof vegetation reduces the ecological footprint and improves the microclimate around the enterprise.
- Business and office buildings – The green roof is not only aesthetic, but also provides a recreation area and better working conditions.
- Terraces and balconies – Even the smallest open spaces can become a personal green corner for relaxation and inspiration.
What types of roof gardens are there??
Extensive roof landscaping
These are the so-called. "green roofs" - light, easy to maintain and low cost. Mostly drought-resistant and low-growing plants are used, such as sedums and mosses. They are ideal for buildings with limited carrying capacity.
Semi-intensive systems
They combine features of extensive and intensive landscaping. They allow the planting of grasses, herbs, flowers and shrubs. They require moderate maintenance and are suitable for spaces, used for recreation.
Intensive roof landscaping
Real parks on buildings. They include a variety of vegetation - trees, bushes, color compositions, as well as infrastructure such as driveways, benches and even water features. Suitable for newly designed buildings with reinforced construction and a specially built drainage and waterproofing system.
Benefits of Rooftop Landscaping:

- Improves sound insulation – Green roofs reduce external noise by up to 30%, which contributes to better interior acoustics.
- Regulates temperatures – Provides cooling in summer and insulation in winter, reducing energy costs.
- Holds rainwater – Reduces the load on the sewage network and the risk of flooding.
