🌿 Flat Vegetative Roof in Dallas, TX – Arrington Roofing HQ Project

A Living Roof Designed for Performance, Sustainability, and Beauty in the Heart of Dallas

At Arrington Roofing, we don’t just talk about innovation—we build it into our headquarters. This vegetative flat roof system at our Dallas HQ showcases our expertise in high-performance green roofing systems designed for commercial applications across North Texas.

✅ Project Overview

• Location: Dallas, TX

• Roof Type: Flat vegetative roof system

• Size: [Insert square footage]

• System Layers: Waterproof membrane, root barrier, drainage, engineered soil, low-maintenance vegetation

• Completion: [Insert date if applicable]

Our goal was to create a roof system that enhances energy efficiency, manages stormwater naturally, and reflects our commitment to sustainable commercial roofing.

Why Choose a Vegetative Roof in Dallas?

Dallas is no stranger to extreme heat, heavy storms, and rapid urban development. A flat vegetative roof addresses all three challenges while delivering major ROI over the long term.

🌡 Urban Heat Island Mitigation

Vegetative roofs help reduce rooftop temperatures by 30–40°F, decreasing building cooling loads and creating a cooler urban footprint.

💧 Stormwater Management

With up to 75% of rainfall retained, this green roofing system dramatically reduces runoff, easing strain on Dallas storm drains and helping meet sustainability goals.

⚡️ Energy Efficiency

Green roofs provide natural insulation. Commercial properties can reduce HVAC usage by up to 25–30%, especially during hot Texas summers.

🌾 Biodiversity & Air Quality

Native plants absorb pollutants and support local ecosystems—even on a commercial building in the middle of the city.

🌇 About the Project

This vegetative roof sits atop our Dallas headquarters, serving as both a working example of modern green roofing and a conversation starter for clients interested in sustainable design.

Challenges & Solutions:

• Drainage Engineering: Dallas gets heavy rainfall—so we installed a custom drainage mat that directs water efficiently.

• Plant Selection: We chose drought-resistant, low-maintenance native plants (like sedum and other ground covers) ideal for North Texas conditions.

• Structural Load Consideration: We reinforced key areas to account for additional soil and water weight.

🔨 Installation Process

1. Inspection & Load Analysis
   Verified structural capacity to support vegetative system.

2. Membrane & Waterproofing

4. Planting
   Laid a blend of hardy, adaptive vegetation to thrive in Dallas’s climate.

5. Ongoing Maintenance
   Quarterly checkups ensure healthy plant growth and optimal performance.
