Roof-Top Gardens
Roof-tops gardens are a great way to utilize and ‘green-up’ previously unused space. Roof gardens will also help reduce temperature extremes within buildings, and will help to control storm water run-off on site. Balanced Environments has experience with management and installation of a variety of roof–top garden types, and can help guide property managers and owners to the appropriate options for their buildings.
