  • Load First

    Calculate saturated soil and plant load before ordering media — overweight roofs fail structurally.

  • Membrane Integrity

    Protect waterproof membrane from punctures during every layer install.

  • Fall Protection

    Use harness and guardrails whenever working within 6 feet of roof edge.
