A greener home starts on your rooftop
Imagine looking up and seeing a living roof rather than a patch of tired felt. The whole space feels calmer, and you know you have added a pocket of nature where there was nothing before. Many people assume this kind of project is complicated, but it's surprisingly simple once you have the right system.
Greenrooftops was created to take the complexity out of green roofing. You get fully grown sedum trays that arrive ready to click together like building blocks. You lift them onto your roof, and the change is instant. No specialist knowledge is needed. You get colour through the warm months and a roof that works harder for your home, shed or outbuilding all year round.
If you want a sedum roof that is easy to install, low maintenance and grows with care in the UK countryside, you are in the right place.

Sedum roof trays that click with your roof
You want something practical, instant and reliable. The Greenrooftops Sedum Tray gives you the complete green roof system in one lightweight module.
Each tray arrives with drainage, a water reservoir, substrate and sixteen varieties of UK-grown sedum. You simply set out the underlay if your roof needs it, place the trays on top and click them together. They settle in quickly and give you an immediate blanket of colour.
A colourful cast of sixteen sedum varieties
Your roof deserves a mix that stays resilient through British weather. Our seed mix contains sixteen varieties, chosen to flourish in Northern European climates. They give you shifting colours from early summer into autumn and support bees and butterflies wherever you live. Over time, your roof will develop its own natural balance of varieties, shaped by your local environment.

The roots of Greenrooftops
Greenrooftops began when grower Tim Riley was asked to produce sedum for green roofs. After a lifetime working with everything from salad crops to orchids, creating an easier and more reliable way to build a living roof felt like a natural step.
That idea grew into the Greenrooftops Sedum Tray. It takes the skill and preparation off the roof and places it on the farm, where it can be done with care and precision. You receive modules that are grown sustainably, handled by real growers and ready to click together for an instant result.
