Built-in-Place Components & Tray Supplies Call, e-mail or check online for full spec sheets and additional information. Vegetated Mat Page 31 39” x 39” or 39” x 78” or 10” x 21” blankets. Soil thickness approximately 1”. 6-7 lbs/sf (approximate weight fully saturated including mature plant foliage.) Removable core is a geometric patterned core blanket designed to reinforce soil for green roof vegetation. It consists of a matrix of tangled mono-filaments that are heat welded at the junctions to form a resilient structure that utilizes a removable non-woven spun bound polyester. May be available pre-grown on speculation with a standard Sedum mix. Custom growing may take 18-20 months for 39” or 6-12 weeks for 10” to achieve 75-85% coverage. Install on 2-3” of growing media (less media will require an installed irrigation system) over filtration, drainage and protection layers. Water immediately and regularly. Can supplement with plugs. Will require perimeter containment such as edging at least equal to media depth. Plugs Pages 32-33 Slip Sheets, Protection Fabrics, Drainage & Filtration Layers Pages 28-29 Edging Page 34 Plants Pages 32-33 4” or larger pots of perennials, groundcovers and shrubs chosen for local performance and sustainability including considering micro-climates on the roof. Available from Twixwood Nursery. Recommended spacing will depend on varieties chosen and will be anywhere from 6” on center to several feet for larger shrubs. Typically an intensive (6” or deeper) type of green roof. Plant in growing media with a depth greater than or at least equal to depth of plant pots chosen and with sufficient depth and area to provide root stability for mature plant size for varieties chosen. Normal filtration, drainage and protection layers should be used below media. Will require perimeter containment such as edging at least equal to media depth and may require an irrigation system and regular care and maintenance by trained landscapers and horticulturists. 2-4” pots of perennials, groundcovers and shrubs chosen for local performance and sustainability including considering micro-climates on the roof. Typically mostly Sedum species with a few other small plants occasionally used. Available from Twixwood Nursery. Recommended spacing of 4” - 8” on center. Approximate plant counts: 4” oc = 9/sf, 6” oc = 4/sf, 8” oc = 2.25/sf. Use www.landscapecalculator.com for accurate counts. Typically an extensive (Less than 6” deep) type of green roof. Plant in growing media with a depth greater than or at least equal to depth of plant pots chosen and with sufficient depth and area to provide root stability for mature plant size for varieties chosen. Normal filtration, drainage and protection layers should be used below media. Will require perimeter containment such as edging at least equal to media depth. If varieties other than Sedum are used, they will probably require an irrigation system and regular care and maintenance by trained landscapers and horticulturists. Cuttings Pages 32-33 Cut pieces of Sedum plants with a length and viability sufficient to begin rooting and growth. Available from Twixwood Nursery. Recommended rate of 10 lbs/100 sf. Typically an extensive (Less than 6” deep) type of green roof. Scatter on 2-3” of growing media (less media will require an installed irrigation system) over normal filtration, drainage and protection layers. Water immediately and regularly. Can supplement with plugs. Will require perimeter containment such as edging at least equal to media depth. Recommend use of Biodegradable Erosion Control Mat.
