Sky Garden – Winner of NFRC Green Roof of the Year 2017
Sky Garden is proud to be at the forefront of green roof innovation in the UK, offering a truly end-to-end service that supports sustainable urban development. Now part of the Genuit Group, they’ ve joined forces with one of the UK’ s leading providers of sustainable water and climate management solutions— a move that brings exceptional synergies across product innovation, sustainability, and delivery.
Sky Garden is unique in the green roof sector. From their dedicated farm in Worcestershire, they grow and nurture all the vegetation used in their systems— including their ever-popular modular trays, which are matured on-site for instant visual impact and plant health. Alongside this, they operate a production facility where they blend specialist substrates using sustainable raw materials. This hub also consolidates all components— from fleeces to edging— ensuring cost-effective, efficient deliveries nationwide.
Their commitment to innovation continues through their partnership with Permavoid, allowing them to supply and install cutting-edge blue roof systems. These solutions offer integrated water attenuation and irrigation benefits, adding climate resilience to rooftops while supporting biodiversity and reducing flood risk.
In response to growing demand for multifunctional rooftops, Sky Garden has also launched a range of bio-solar frames— a unique system that combines green roofs with solar PV. The low-impact mounting frames are specifically designed to avoid roof penetrations and work harmoniously with vegetation, helping clients maximise both biodiversity net gain and energy generation. It’ s a powerful synergy for clients seeking long-term environmental value.

They are proud recipients of a BALI Award in 2019, a testament to their dedication to high-quality workmanship, design, and aftercare. But more than accolades, their ethos sets them apart: Sky Garden is the only UK green roof company that grows the vegetation, produces the substrates, installs the systems, and provides long-term maintenance under one roof.
Urban greening is at the heart of everything they do. As cities grapple with the effects of climate change, green roofs and walls offer essential benefits— from cooling and insulation to biodiversity and wellbeing. By providing a fully traceable, sustainable supply chain and unmatched technical support, Sky Garden is helping architects, developers, and contractors deliver truly impactful landscapes.
As the urban environment continues to evolve, Sky Garden remains committed to innovation, sustainability, and service— delivering greener cities, one rooftop at a time.
