How to Install Your My Green Roof Kit

Transform your roof into a biodiverse green space with ease. Follow these steps to plant sedum or wildflower plug plants, ensuring healthy growth and long-lasting results.

Tools & Preparation

Before you start, make sure you have:

Protective gloves

Sharp knife or saw

Trowel and bucket

Ruler or measuring tape

Safe and clear workspace

Planting Tips

Plant 20–30 plugs per m² for optimal coverage.

Water regularly for the first 3 weeks and during dry spells.

Plants may take up to 3 years to fully establish.

Your green roof is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance – fertilise in spring and trim/weeds in autumn.

5 Steps to Create a Small Green Roof

1. Prepare the Fleece

Cut the ribbed protection fleece to the required size for your roof area. Lay it down ribbed side down to allow for drainage and water storage.

2. Add the Substrate

Using a bucket, spread the substrate evenly over the fleece to a depth of 80–120mm. Ensure a smooth, level surface to support healthy plant growth.

3. Plant Your Plugs

Insert your sedum or wildflower plugs into the substrate at a rate of 20–30 per m². Space them evenly for uniform coverage.

4. Water Thoroughly

Water the roof regularly for the first 3 weeks and during dry spells. This ensures the plants establish strong roots.

5. Maintain Your Green Roof

Fertilise lightly in spring

Trim and weed in autumn

Monitor for drainage and plant health
