An Eco Roof is typically a lightweight, low maintenance vegetated roof system used in place of a conventional roof. Green Roofs can be located on flat or pitched roofs and can be used on commercial and residential structures. There are many benefits of eco-roofs including: reducing storm water runoff, improving outdoor air quality, providing insulation for the building, and creating habitat.

There are two main types of green roofs: extensive and intensive; an extensive roof typically has shallow, lighter weight soil with low maintenance plants, where an intensive roof can have much deeper soil with a wider variety of plant materials.


Take a look at one of our Eco Roof projects at Linn Benton Community College here.        Highway Fuel blew about 100 yards of custom blended soil mix three stories up to fill 2000 2x2 soil boxes.

With our large line of raw materials we can custom blend soils to meet almost any specification for Eco-roof growing media, and with our unique blower trucks we can install the media as well.
