Gathering Rooftop Garden Ideas

While you’re gathering ideas, you may want to create a Pinterest Board or Houzz Idea Book.

Not only will you have great organizational tools at your fingertips while you start to plan, but you’ll be surprised at how much visual inspiration you can find right on these apps.

Lastly: Tracking and Communicating Your Thoughts on Your Rooftop Garden

If you decide you want some professional help with your rooftop garden or just need an easy way to track your own ideas, download our Landscape Assessment & Planning Guide for a quick and easy way to tick off considerations, likes, wants and needs for your rooftop garden. No doubt you’ll find a variety of considerations you hadn’t thought of. You’ll also very likely be surprised at how easy, fast and helpful this checklist is.


If you need help, we’re highly experienced in both rooftop gardens (see the services we offer for rooftop gardens) and greenroofs. We’ll be happy to meet with you to discuss how we can help you transform your rooftop into the garden of your dreams.
