High Line reconstruction

Long Island Compost is proud to be at the forefront of the "green roof" movement. A green roof is a vegetative layer grown on a rooftop that provides shade while reducing temperatures of the roof surface, the surrounding air, and the building itself. Green roofs also enhance storm-water management and water quality and can be installed on a wide range of structures, from industrial facilities to private residences. They can be as simple as a 2-inch covering of hardy groundcover or as complex as a fully accessible park complete with trees. For the building owner, installation of a green roof offers numerous tax advantages.
