Green Roofs
You can depend on the E-Built Green Roof Division throughout the process of designing, installing and maintaining a green roof. To guarantee the success of your project we work to ensure that all waterproofing and vegetated roof construction documents comply with Philadelphia Water standards. We provide expert design consultation, efficient installation logistics during the waterproofing and green roof construction phases, and well-timed maintenance visits to encourage lush plant growth. For the construction of new buildings or the retrofit of older structures, E-Built will lead you through the green roof installation process.
We have been working on roofs since 2008 and there are more than 50 green roofs in our portfolio. Each project presents unique challenges and we work with our clients to establish feasibility and select systems that are right for their roofs. Our crews have experience installing extensive compliance green roofs and verdant rooftop gardens. We can work with pre-grown mats, cuttings, modules and heirloom perennials. Our completed work is our best spokesperson. If you would like to visit a completed installation we can arrange a tour of a green roof system that is similar to the one you are considering for your rooftop.

Rooftop Amenities
Decks, Arbors,Trellis, Planters
With the addition of well-constructed decks, arbors, planters or even a trellis a compliance green roof becomes an amenity garden. We work with sustainable FSC wood and our craft people are expert woodworkers. We combine green technologies that manage storm water with well-crafted outdoor elements to make the most of your rooftop.
Dog Parks
Is your building pet-friendly? The ultimate amenity for animal lovers is a rooftop dog park. Dog parks save time for busy families and in the city, rooftop dog parks provide a secure place to take dogs outside without leaving the building. We install grass systems (bluegrass or synthetic) where man’s best friend can romp freely on grass. Natural grass systems are appealing to pets, although many property owners like the convenience of synthetic turf systems that stay green regardless of pet waste. We can help you decide which dog park system will work for you.
Rooftop Kitchens
Having a meal outside can be one of life’s great pleasures. What better way to utilize your roof than to add a kitchen to your rooftop garden? Cook a meal and share dinner with friends under the stars without leaving the comfort of your own building. E-Built installs energy efficient appliances that are durable enough to withstand the elements and stylish enough to make your outdoor kitchen your favorite room in the house.
Green Infrastructure
Rainy days will get you down unless you believe, like we do, that rainwater is a resource. On roofs and on grade, we build systems that manage storm water and respond to the local climate. We install pervious pavers, rain gardens, infiltration trenches and tree boxes that use rain to improve the appearance and function of your property. Green infrastructure is a cost-effective way to cultivate the urban landscape and enhance the quality of life.
