Upper West Side Terrace Green Roof
Highview Creations, in collaboration with designer, Jessie LeBaron, installed this intensive green roof for a private residence on the Upper West Side. This lightweight Omni media green roof is nestled into custom-cut roofing pavers and features a small reflecting pool. A mix of sun-loving perennials, annuals, and even bulbs contribute to this small but beautiful rooftop installation which simply burst to life this past season.

Tracing out the curves for our custom edge. Building up the sub-deck and getting things level. Sub-deck complete and level, ready for green roof layers. Drainage, filter fabric, and Omni lightweight growing media installed! Ready for amendments and plantings! Bulbs spring forth and reflecting pool shines.
