Growing Media & Substrate

Growing media and substrates are fundamental components of any green roof system. They provide the foundation that supports vegetation, manages rainwater and helps create healthy, sustainable roof landscapes. Unlike standard garden soil, green roof substrates are engineered to deliver the correct balance of drainage, water retention, aeration and structural stability whilst remaining significantly lighter than traditional soils.

At ABG Building Solutions, we supply a carefully selected range of growing media and substrate products designed to suit a variety of green roof applications. Whether you are specifying an extensive sedum roof, a biodiverse habitat roof or an intensive roof garden, our products help create the conditions needed for successful plant establishment and long term performance.
