I'd love to put vegetation on my roof. Dallas in the summer typically has more than a few 100-degree days. :eek: The resale value is probably the biggest deterant, then it's a two-story home. The roof is steep (going to love painting on it....). Finally, I'd have to find something that would be low-maintainence.
The advantage is avoiding warming up the attic to 130-150 degrees and keeping the cooling bill a lot lower.
What I'm doing now instead is growning several pine trees, a couple that are 30 feet after seven years.
