Fytogreen provide sustainable living roofs for healthy, ecologically responsible buildings.

A roof garden or “green roof” is a flat or pitched roof surface that is planted using a growing medium over a waterproof membrane.

Fytogreen have a proven track record in the industry, we have installed over 55,000 m2 of beautiful and sustainable rooftop gardens and supplied proprietary roof garden media components to approximately 490,000m2 throughout Australia.

Fytogreens Roof Garden Journey “CONCEPT TO DELIVERY”

Extensive and semi-extensive roof gardens have a thin growing medium <200mm deep, planted with predominantly native vegetation.

Fytogreen installs sub-surface irrigation and typically our extensive roof gardens require minimal maintenance.

Intensive roof gardens are heavier than extensive gardens, with a garden profile depth of 200-1500mm+ supporting substantial vegetation, shrubs and trees as a landscaped space for people to inhabit.

Sloped Roof Gardens. Fytogreen uses the Geoweb® Cellular Confinement System - this engineered solution enables green roofs to be installed on slopes from 15 - 45 degrees by eliminating slippage off a smooth structure such as a water proof membrane.

This Roof Garden Journey follows North Bondi Amenities Block that adjoins a Sydney Water Pump House (a ‘Sam Crawford Architects’ design).

The renovation incorporated a new 90m2 roof garden to with varied depths from 150mm to 260mm to create some localized contours.

The garden had 7 skylights that were built into the roof structure. The garden was mounded around the skylights using planting pallet including coastal sedges, grasses and ground covers.

36M2 Haig Street, Wombarra, NSW Private Residence Oasis Landscape Design and Construction Fytogreen Australia March 2016

Fytogreen was commissioned to install a 36m2 roof garden on this modern, beachside family residence in Wombarra, NSW. Plant species were carefully selected to ensure tolerance to the harsh coastal conditions. The original depth allowance was 1,000m which was reduced to 350mm by infilling the base with M grade EPS foam as a void filler.

Due to access restrictions (power-lines and a deep sloping block) the soil was blown in and the garden was then installed as per usual Fytogreens usual specifications.

Surfview Road, Mona Vale, Sydney Fytogreen 2009

The home-owner’s vision was to create a simple, environmentally sound roof garden on the roof of their home extension in the beach-side suburb of Mona Vale.

Although the garden has an irrigation system installed, it was established purely on rainfall and with cuttings from the sand dunes across the road. After 12 months the irrigation system has never been used.

Within a short time the garden was established, providing visual amenity for the owners and neighbors.
