Green Roofs / Portfolio

Earlier this year, we installed a sedum green roof on a domestic property in Linton, North Yorkshire. Firstly, what a lovely setting, looking out onto the open fields - we…

Outbuildings can often look dull and boring but that's not the case here. At the beginning of May 2021, we installed our sedum green roof mats on an existing outbuilding…

Are you struggling for space? Have you thought about extending your property? Why not add a sedum green roof? That's just what our customer did. We recently completed a sedum…

It’s been a busy couple of months for us here at Green Roofs Naturally. From sedum green roof installations to maintenances, we’ve been working hard on some lovely projects. It's…

This summer, garden studios have become increasingly popular. With warmer temperatures and longer nights homeowners have been looking to make the most of their outside space.  What’s more, with many…

Working on domestic houses and commercial buildings, we see architects plans for builds with roofs of all shapes and sizes. From roofs with straight edges to those with curves, our…

A garden shed can look quite dull and boring but this DIY project has made a huge transformation. This customer decided they wanted to enhance the roof of their garden…

When you live in beautiful countryside and in an old house, it's always difficult to design an extension that fits in. This customer decided that our sedum would help bed…

How about this then? Our customer had constructed this store but felt it needed softening and enhancing.  She contacted us and we were very happy to supply her with some…

The lockdown is affecting the whole country so to abide by the rules of "social distancing" (how quickly that phrase has become commonplace) this installation was carried out by Helen…

We were delighted to supply our sedum mats to the firm building this stylish bird hide.  If you like birdwatching look out for these excellent hides around the country and…

Have a look at these exquisite photos of the sedum  in the spring!         A well maintained roof can support flowers like these.  The key is to keep the…

The team were out and about last week installing this great roof.  The outlook from the house is much improved with its addition and it fits into the landscape better…

This attractive extension is beautifully topped by some of our great sedum.  Again we've used some pebbles around the roof window which not only looks attractive and sets off the…

We always advise clients with roofs with even a very shallow pitched roof that  they should consider some sort of irrigation for their roof.  Although sedum really doesn't like being…

This outbuilding is very much part of the view for our client and they just wanted some beauty and greenery to enhance their already impressive vista.

Our client just wanted a bit of extra wow factor as she looked at her extension.  I would like to suggest our roof provided just what she wanted.

Not a perfect choice for an installation day but not even we are given a crystal ball to predict the best installation days.  You will see on these photos of…

We had a very local enquiry from a chap who had made his own very neat log store and just needed a little bit of sedum to cover it.  Luckily…

We've just been back to give this roof a good maintenance and what a difference these few months have made. This is the same part of the roof when it…

but the sedum is looking great!  We are looking forward to seeing the photos when the studio really is in a garden.

This fabulous roof was installed only 2 months ago but look at the difference... NOW                                                                                THEN the sedum is…

I always find matching things very pleasing (sad, I know!).  So, how very pleasing I find matching a roof with a bin store!  Perfect.  The team are constantly working to…

This peaceful setting is enhanced by one of our beautiful sedum roofs!  

Out and about last week the team installed a sedum roof on this hidden house.  All that the neighbours will see is an expanse of sedum rather than a tiled…

Our customer came on May 7th and picked up sedum etc to install herself on the woodstore she has built.  This morning in my inbox were these photos and her…

What a good day to be out and on a roof!  The new sedum roof really adds to the kerb appeal of this beautiful house. Our client was unsure whether…

The team enjoyed installing this one.  The surrounding houses get a view of sedum rather than a view of tiles or other roofing product.  That has got to be a…

Yes, the team have been out again!  This installation demonstrates nicely how a pebble border can be used around a skylight/PV panel or other piece of "roof furniture".  Another area…

How about this for a glorious installation?  The roof just adds to the appearance of the garden.

With a view of water like this how about building an outdoor kitchen then roofing it with our sedum?  Let's hope the coming year gives our clients plenty of opportunity…

Some of our installations are in settings where some greenery helps a building or outbuilding settle into the landscape more seamlessly.  I think this is one such. In the spring…

Our clients wanted a nicer view from their window than a rubber membrane and we were happy to oblige!

This lovely view is much enhanced (we think) by the installation of one of our sedum roofs.  What do you think?

This client wanted to improve her view and is delighted with the result: "We’re really pleased with it as it’s north facing and was an empty area. The living roof…

The team have recently topped  a beautiful building with one of our wonderful green roofs.  This roof is very visible from a window in house which means our client can…

Another lovely installation despite the very dry spell we have been having.  All plants begin to suffer in very long dry periods, even our hardy drought tolerant sedum.  Good irrigation…

Making a garage attractive  is always a challenge, as in reality they are just boxes.  These clients wanted more greenery and colour to enhance their garage and allow it to…

Well, making the environment more pleasurable anyway.  Our clients wanted their home office and house extension to make a statement and yet also enhance their environment.  They chose sedum roofs…

One enterprising client has disguised his bins in a very stylish manner....      

This large roof blends excellently into the neighbourhood.  The clients were advised to keep it well irrigated in the hot weather during installation.

A view to envy I think!  This customer lives in a lovely place and decided to make it even more beautiful by the addition of a sedum roof.

Do you remember we installed a roof a couple of years ago destined for a wider audience than normal?  Well it looks like this is finally coming to our screens…

I hope you agree that our sedum has very much enhanced this line of garages.  No longer just a garage but a roof height haven for wildlife and beauty.

Have you ever wondered how to disguise the inevitable line of wheelie bins outside your house?  Well, one of our customers did and came up with this lovely structure.  We…

Many of our recent photos show the myriad of domestic roofs big and small for which we install or supply sedum mats. We do of course have commercial roofs but…

You would not guess from the photo that the team now realise they need better waterproofs!  A very wet installation but that at least meant we didn't have to do…

The team managed to get this roof on in between days of high winds and freezing temperatures.  It's always a bit more challenging at this time of year finding a…

A previously fairly ordinary flat roof is improved with our sedum.  Just wait until spring when it bursts into bloom!

Have a look at these 2 photos of our sedum field which were taken from about the same vantage point. The first one was in spring when the sedum is…

One of our latest projects was to enhance the look of a newly built garage/sunroom. A lovely extension to living space but with a boring waterproofed near flat roof just…

Adding sedum to the roof of this building ties it beautifully into the surrounding countryside.  The sedum has been grown in our field for at least 18months before being installed…

One of the jobs the team have completed this week is the roof of a little extension.  Here you can see they have put a pebble margin around the skylights. …

Our latest little project finishes off a lovely garden with a (now) delightfully roofed arbour! " I am so pleased with the roof it's the first thing I see when…

How fabulous is this roof?!  Our customers contacted us for sedum mats to roof their new log store themselves and the beautiful photos show the fantastic job they have done.…

You can see here that one of our customers bought the mats from us direct but installed them himself around his pond.  A good idea which will bring interest and…

Our client, a garden landscaper, wanted to give his bike shed an extra bit of interest and settled on our sedum mats.  You can see the results with which he,…

When asked to do a green roof maintenance we are never quite sure what we are going to see on arrival.   We ask questions like - How long has it…

Another roof complete.. Matching roofs on adjoining properties.

The team has been out and about installing and maintaining sedum roofs but we've not been getting round to uploading photos. The pictured roof is a near complete installation. Beautifying…

No longer do you need to look out onto a grey flat roof.  In the spring this roof will look even more varied and interesting.

Well our bit is done on this roof but as you can see the builder still needs to put on coping stones to tidy the job up! The sedum looks…

Have a look at this photo of one family who installed their own roof!  They bought the sedum mats and various other bits to make their "kit" and off they…

Another new sedum roof enhances the landscape. The sedum helps to allow the summerhouse fit seamlessly into its environment.

This roof was installed by us several years ago and recently our client got in touch with these amazing photos as she explains below: "The two green roofs in Hersham,…

As if there wasn't enough beauty already there!  We gave this house and porch a lovely sedum roof.

Allowing man and nature to blend more easily together.  A sedum roof helps this building sit more easily in its environment.

The team have been busy again!  If you look carefully as well as our lovely sedum there are a couple of horizontal tension wires across the roof to keep people…

You can see how the sedum is exploding with colour now it's more established.  Our client sent us this photo and email cited below: "We have just got back from…

Yes, we can supply you with our sedum mats for you to install yourself whatever the size of your project.  As you can see our customer has made a real…

We are delighted to report that the team have recently installed one of our marvellous roofs on a stunning new build which you will be able to see later in…

Another grey roof made attractive and interesting by the Green Roofs Naturally team! This picture shows the upstand already there in preparation for the sedum matting. It's easier to install…

Here is a really clever way to enhance what was previously a fairly ugly and redundant area of a very beautiful garden.  The raised patio  gives a great seating area…

Now in July the roof is even more  colourful and lush.  A sedum roof gives contant changing interest with the passing seasons.   The roof is looking so much greener…

Well, how did we do it?  Despite the fiendish weather we have all been experiencing we managed to happen upon a good day for our latest installation!  Even the day…

Wherever we are, home and abroad, we are on the lookout for sedum roofs - we just can't help it!  Often airports are good places to see green roofs as…

A cold, wet January morning did not deter the team from installing a new roof on a garage. Wrapped up warm and handling the wet sedum very carefully another successful…

The team enjoyed enhancing the outdoor space of this eco house in york.  Only 2 small roofs but as they grow in the spring it will make a real difference…

The roof is newly laid but already you can see the variation of sedum types we use.  Over time the sedum will grow and produce a multicoloured carpet on the…

Another choice for green roofs is to use a herbaceous planting scheme as shown here on a roof in progress.  The team set out several herbaceous beds on a roof…

The team installed another striking roof in Fleetwood despite teaming rain both when harvesting the sedum and when installing the roof!  What a team! Another job well done.  

A beautiful weekend meant a very successful Open Gardens event and many , many compliments on the beautiful shed roof installed by the team here at Green Roofs Naturally.

Wilmcote Primary School needed to replace two old temporary classrooms as they were no longer suited to the requirements of today's teaching and learning demands. The school used MPH to…

Sedum roof installed on a house extension in Oct 2014.  

Keelham farm shop - sedum roof installed in November 2014 - quite a difficult roof to install due to the pitch of the roof but we succeeded with wonderful results.…

This is a single storey house extension.  

A simple way to enhance a garden shed.  

The team installed a new roof in a beautiful position overlooking the valley. Luckily the installation was during one of the few dry spells of recent days. The same could…

Installed several years ago and one which now GRN maintain twice a year.  

One of our Green Roofs at Osmotherley, North Yorks. It was installed in 2009 and this is what it looks like now after maintenance during June 2012.  

We supplied and installed a Green Roof for the Leeds University garden for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show which won a Gold Medal.
