Living Roofs is a design/build team reinvigorating public and residential structures with green roofs and living walls. Founded in 2006, we are just as excited and committed as ever to growing landscapes in new and unexpected places.

From those pioneering days forward, our team continues to bring deep expertise to companies and clients who want the social, economic, and environmental benefits of the vibrant green roofs we carefully design, build, and maintain.

“As developers, we care about the communities we invest in. Our building is in the heart of downtown Asheville and our roof was planted to attract pollinators, including the endangered WNC Bumble Bee. And while we definitely appreciate the practical and environmental benefits of a living roof, we were not prepared for how very beautiful our ‘meadow in the sky’ looks. The professionals at Living Roofs are a pleasure to work with and the results are incredible!”
