Green Roof Blocks filled with live plant and “growth media” make green roofing as easy as a walk in the park—at higher elevations. Timberlake is a fan because the roof “reduces stormwater runoff, removes pollutants, improves air quality, and provides great insulation.” The modular metal blocks measure 2 feet square.
