Who installs Green Roofs in Metro Detroit?

Green Roof at A3C Architects in Ann Arbor

I am working with a local business owner who is interested in installing a green roof. Is there anyone in Metro Detroit that you would recommend for this project? If not, is there someone from elsewhere you would recommend?

Hi Deb,

There’ve only been a handful of greenroof projects in SE Michigan, with many more around the state — particularly on the west side. A variety of professionals may be involved in such a process, from designers, to installers to plant growers. The only local designer I’m familiar with who has experience with green roofs is A3C Collaborative Architecture in Ann Arbor.

I’d also recommend you go to the greenroofs database and search for Michigan installations. Each project lists who was involved in making it happen. For example, you can see the information on the Ford Rouge Plant, University of Michigan, Mallet Creek Public Library, and others.
