Planters & Containers

Planters & containers are essentially miniature rooftop gardens that have a total depth of 14 to 18 inches or fall within the deep intensive category. They require high-performance growth media to ensure plant growth, health and longevity. rooflite soil will not lose volume, which is essential for this system where root space is limited.

Deep planters have a total depth of more than 18 inches and have a potential depth of up to several feet. This system has an additional soil layer between the intensive top layer and the drainage layer which provides better aeration and increased structural stability.
