Why are vegetation blankets more suitable than plant plugs for my green roof?
Planting a green roof with plugs or cuttings or sowing seed requires a lot of maintenance, especially the initial years. The desired result, namely mature vegetation covering the areas generally takes several years to achieve. Using Sempergreen vegetation blankets you can have a direct-green result which will require hardly any maintenance.
Even more benefits

The installation costs are lower, you mainly save on the labour cost.
A vegetation blanket is quickly rolled out, while planting plugs is a time consuming task.
There will be hardly any erosion when using vegetation blankets.
Vegetation blankets provide an immediate cooling effect.
In other words: if you use vegetation blankets on your green roof you can take advantage of all the benefits immediately!
