🌿 Can’t stop thinking about Tony Spencer’s green roof? Yeah—same. It’s a whole ecosystem up there, and the tech behind it is just as cool as the plants.⁠
⁠
Installed in just one day, Tony’s elevated green roof (EGR) system is built on ZinCo layers that:⁠
• Protect the roof⁠
• Channel drainage⁠
• Store water for roots⁠
• Keep everything tidy with a sleek aluminum edge⁠
⁠
Bonus: That dimpled black layer? Made from recycled plastic. It hydrates roots and sends overflow down the rain chains like a boss.⁠
⁠
The custom soil mix (ZinCoblend-1) is engineered for serious rooftop gardens—frost- and fire-resistant, and lifted in by crane like a true VIP.⁠
⁠
Would you ever put a green roof on your shed, garage, or garden studio? We’re officially obsessed.⁠
⁠
