American Hydrotech, Inc.

Incredible Work by All American Exterior Solutions on a Remarkable Green Roof Project in Chicago! Designing and implementing a green roof that thrives in the “Windy City” requires expertise and diligent coordination. Given the roof height on this project and exposure to high winds, significant consideration went into coming up with solutions for proper wind design to ensure the long term success of this project. Kudos to the entire design and construction team on making this one a reality. 

Homewood Suites Hotel - Savannah, GA was able to add a top floor amenity deck because of the vegetated roof assembly that addressed their stormwater management needs, per the city of Savannah's building code. To achieve the additional floor in the building, the following conditions needed to be met: the green roof must have capacity to absorb at least 1.2 inches of rain, the green roof must have a certain minimum size to achieve the required retention capacity, and the green roof must be maintained by the building owner. Hydrotech’s Garden Roof® Assembly was able to make this possible and we were able to work closely with the design team to meet the challenging and specific requirements. Not only did a large portion of the roof turn green but the building was also able to incorporate a rooftop pool. Seamless transitions from soft scape to hard scape was achieved using our Ultimate Assembly®, which included rockcurb around the vegetation and beautiful natural diamond pedestal pavers.
