Today's blog focuses on a new installation just planted in Eden Prairie, MN.
AD Greenroof was hired to design-build the nearly 2,000 sf semi-intensive with Aulik & Assoc. Last fall, our alternate proposal came in under budget (how often can you say that in our industry?! Haha). So, we designed some berms and permanent irrigation to make this a really robust and diverse roof. The subtle berms mimic the surrounding landscape and are planted with native forbs and naturalized spring bulbs. We partnered with an installer, Refuge Landscape, and purchased materials from Hanging Gardens.

| Beautiful Course! |
The client is Olympic Hills Golf Course. They are undergoing a major renovation around their property incorporating native plantings. The addition where we installed the green roof is visible from the restaurant and patio; and will be a common backdrop during weddings. During the installation, we had many curious and excited onlookers- during rain and shine. One member commented, "Every day is like Christmas out here!"
Below are a few site photos for your viewing pleasure :) Please
