  8 ” A S S E M B L Y CARLISLE’S G R E E N G R I D GREENGRID INTENSIVE ROOF GARDEN ® The 8-inch GreenGrid Intensive Roof Garden System was designed for more elaborate rooftop gardens. These rooftop gardens are generally intended for access and thus must have the structural capacity for the associated live loads. The 8-inch depth GreenGrid System allows for a larger selection of plants, including ornamental C A R L I S L E perennials, annuals and small shrubs. With the addition of paver pathways, edge treatments and other architectural features, the resulting rooftop garden becomes a beautiful and dramatic new usable space. Dependent upon plant selection, a supplemental drip irrigation system, fertilization and maintenance are generally necessary to maintain a rooftop garden, just as they would be for a perennial garden in the backyard.
