Bring sustainability to the rooftop with expertly designed green roof systems.
Why a Green Roof?
At Rhyno’s Landscaping, we specialize in the design and installation of green roofs for commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential buildings across Halifax and the surrounding HRM.
From extensive sedum systems to intensive rooftop gardens, we help turn underused rooftop space into a thriving, functional layer of your building envelope.
Our Green Roof Services
We offer turnkey solutions for all stages of your green roofing project:
1. Planning & Feasibility Consultation
We work with architects, engineers, and developers to evaluate structural capacity, access, waterproofing, and maintenance considerations.
2. Custom Green Roof Design
Whether you’re looking for a simple sedum mat system or a layered, multi-use garden space, we build your green roof to meet your goals and regulatory needs.
3. Installation & Integration
Our experienced crew installs root barriers, drainage layers, engineered soil media, and plants in accordance with green roofing standards and specifications.
4. Planting & Establishment
We source hardy, drought-resistant plant varieties that thrive in Halifax’s climate and require minimal ongoing irrigation or care.
5. Ongoing Maintenance (Optional)
We can provide seasonal or annual maintenance programs to monitor plant health, drainage performance, and weed control.
Why Choose Rhyno’s Landscaping?
Green roofs vs conventional roofs
The University of Michigan has compared the expected life-cycle costs and benefits of green roofs versus conventional roofs of the same size, and found that while a green roof costs approximately 25% more to install, it saves close to 50% of the initial investment over its lifetime.
Nearly two-thirds of those savings come from reduced energy use. Additional savings come from improved storm water management, and public health benefits of absorbing nitrogen oxides and mitigating air pollution.
