American Hydrotech, Inc., located in Chicago, IL, is a producer and distributer of waterproofing and roofing products.  Hydrotech introduced the Garden Roof Assembly system in 1997; the system is currently available in four different assemblies:

• The Extensive Garden Roof
  This is a lightweight, only 3” - 4” of growing media, system ideal for inaccessible flat or sloping roofs.  Used to reduce runoff and mitigate heat island effect. This system requires minimal maintenance.

• The Sloped Garden Roof Assembly
  Extensive green roofs and some intensive applications can be applied to sloping roofs with a pitch of up to 12:12 or 45º.

• The Shallow-Intensive Garden Roof Assembly
  This option is a shallow intensive system for lawn applications. It can be used for recreational purposes and must be irrigated.

• The Intensive Garden Roof
  This system is for applications that require greater growing media depths of 6”-36.” It can be used for recreational purposes and accommodates a large variety of plants, shrubs, and even trees.  This system must be irrigated.
