Search for What Is A Green Roof And Should You Install One? on Bing

Green roofed structures date back thousands of years, even before the concept of housing as it is known today was birthed. The earliest green roofs came in the form of sod roofs above caves. Plants were used on top of the caves for ceremonial and agricultural purposes. Over time, sod roofs lost their value due to natural disasters and borrowing by animals.  The most famous green roof of all time was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
