The vegetative roof at our Dallas HQ is designed not only to perform, but also to provide sustainability benefits that help commercial properties reduce their environmental impact while lowering operational costs.
Why Choose a Vegetative Roof in Dallas?
Dallas is known for its extreme weather, from high heat to heavy rainstorms, and rapid urban growth. Flat vegetative roofs address these challenges while offering significant long-term return on investment (ROI).
Urban Heat Island Mitigation
With temperatures often exceeding 100°F during summer months, vegetative roofs in Dallas help reduce rooftop temperatures by 30–40°F, lowering the building's cooling load and improving the overall comfort of the building.
Storm-water Management
With Dallas’s heavy rainfall, this green roofing system helps manage stormwater by retaining up to 75% of rainfall, reducing runoff, and easing the strain on stormwater infrastructure in the city.
Energy Efficiency
A green roof provides natural insulation, reducing the need for air conditioning. Commercial properties can reduce HVAC usage by 25–30%, especially during hot Texas summers.
Biodiversity & Air Quality
Our green roofing systems in Dallas also promote local biodiversity. Native plants absorb pollutants and help support ecosystems, which improves air quality in urban environments like Dallas.
About the Project
Our vegetative roof at the Dallas headquarters of Arrington Roofing serves as a live example of what modern green roofing can achieve. It has become both a practical asset for our operations and a source of inspiration for clients looking to create more sustainable commercial spaces in Dallas.
Challenges & Solutions
Drainage Engineering for Dallas’s Weather
We know how heavy the rains can be in Dallas. To ensure proper water management, we installed a custom drainage mat to direct water efficiently across the roof, preventing water accumulation.
Plant Selection for Sustainability
We chose drought-resistant, low-maintenance native plants like sedum and ground covers that thrive in the Dallas climate and require minimal upkeep.
Structural Load Considerations
Given the weight of the added soil and water retention, we reinforced the roof structure to support the vegetative system, ensuring its stability for years to come.
Installation Process
Inspection & Load Analysis: We verified the structural capacity to support the vegetative system, ensuring a solid foundation for the roof.
Membrane & Waterproofing: A root-barrier membrane and water retention layer were installed to protect the building while managing stormwater.
Drainage Layer + Engineered Soil: To ensure proper runoff flow and sufficient moisture retention, we carefully engineered the drainage system and soil layers.
Planting: A blend of hardy, adaptive vegetation was installed to thrive in Dallas's harsh climate.
Ongoing Maintenance: We perform quarterly checkups to ensure the plants remain healthy and the roof continues to perform at its best.
