Rooftop Plaza Decks
Beautiful and beneficial, garden rooftop plaza decks and terraces are not only aesthetically pleasing but help increase the life expectancy of your roof, improve stormwater retention, and thermal resistance.
Along with any roof or terrace garden comes the need for Garden Waterproofing—a vital service for protecting buildings against water damage and leaks when installing a garden. Whether you’re creating an oasis in compliance with the Denver Green Roof Initiative or simply want to add a gorgeous green space to your building, turn to the LEED certified professionals from Douglass Colony.
