Roof top gardens are becoming increasingly popular in the cities across the world and it isn’t hard to see why; cities often lack space and greenery so where better to inject a little life than on the roof? So if you’re looking to create a roof top garden for your home or your business here are the essential design elements that you must include to create a beautifully, unique and more importantly useable space. 

Vertical Potted Plants

Every single roof-top garden should feature tall plants such sunflowers and potted evergreen trees. This helps to create a gorgeous green garden aesthetic yet high above the ground. Containerised trees are perfect for ‘zoning’ – this is basically creating separate areas with different colours, textures etc. Tall plants and trees also work as a wind break which is essential when creating a high rise garden, however you need to ensure that all pots and containers are weighed down effectively.

Wooden Decking

As Timber decking is light yet durable it is the perfect flooring option for the rooftop garden. Decking works perfectly with the ‘zoning’ technique allowing you to separate areas of your garden making it easy to achieve that pure and blissful sensation that it should.
