Eye For Failure
Urban trees along Rndolph are dangerously close to the curb, with little or no growing area except what room there is for root growth under the surface
Poor Planning leads to trees having to be trimmed along Boulware trail, Champaign, IL Mounding of mulch on Valley Road trees can potentially lead to death of trees

Eco-Roof Green Roof System -Modular tray system made of recycled plastic -Extensive Green Roof: less than 6 inches in depth -Estimated 18-23 lbs. per square foot -40 Drainage Holes in Bottom of each tray -3.3” Standard Depth -Size of tray: 12” x 24” --Full Establishment (95%+ Coverage) with Enough Lead Time -Recommended 12-15 weeks of summer growing time -Pre-established plugs, consisting of 6-8 varieties of seedum -Growing media composed mostly of aggregate material with minimal organic content www.eco-roofs.com
-Eco roofs are bulding roofs that are partially or completely covered with vegetation and growing media, taking the place of a bare membrane, gravel ballast, shingles or tiles. -The number of layers and layer placement vary from system to system and eco roof roof type. -All eco roofs include a single multi-ply water proofing layer, growing media and plants, with drinage, covering the entire roof area. -Eco roofs serve several purposes for a building, such as absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, creating a habitat for wildlife, and helping to lower urban air temperatures and combat the heat island effect. -There are two types of green roofs: intensive roofs, which are thicker and can support a wider variety of plants but are heavier and require more maintenance, and extensive roofs, which are covered in a light layer of vegetation and are lighter than an intensive green roof.
Emerging Technologies Drainage Channels In addition to the drainage holes, Eco- Roofs trays are designed with drainage channels that allow excess water to flow freely in either direction towards the roof drains. These are visible in the photo to the left and in the photo above as the “ribs” of the tray. 2 run the length of the tray and 3 across the middle.
Drainage Holes The module contains 40 round drainage holes in the bottom. Each drainage hole is 3/8” in diameter. They are strategically placed to maintain ideal drainage efficiency. The drainage holes ensure that there is a limit to excess water in the module. Standing water can be more detrimental to plants than dryness as excess standing water can cause root rot. In addition to the drainage holes this module contains small, shallow drainage wells (the twelve rectangles.) Keeping these wells small and shallow capitalizes on drainage and minimizes pooled water which causes root rot.Drainage Holes The module contains 40 round drainage holes in the bottom.

Putting Trays Together Ssimply place each tray up tight, next to the previous ones. The soils and plants will slide together creating a solid mass.Place a slip sheet and water proofing membrance under trays. Edging can be placed around the trays if it is desired. It is highly recommended for our 4” and deeper options but is optional with our standard 3.3” deep modules.
