Modular Sedum System - The S-Pod/Sedum Tray
This method of laying Sedum consists of a tray with all three layers built in (Drainage layer, Substrate and Sedum). These can be easily placed on the prepared roof on top of the waterproof layer. They are much easier and quicker to install and are half the weight of the traditional Mat system (55 kgs per m2 vs 98kgs per m2). They also comply with Fire regs.
Grown here on our farm in Wiltshire
They have on average 9-12 British hardy Sedum varieties

Sedum S-Pod Component Sedum S-Pod Design
The S-pods are grown here on our farm in Wiltshire and come 90 -100 % covered in established Sedum. We use 6-9 varieties of sedum, this years list is available to download here
This is our premium produce and offers the superior sedum mix ensuring a long lasting quality green roof
The S-Pod/Sedum tray modules click together both horizontally and vertically providing a firm and stable roof.
The S-Pod can be placed on many types of roofs including pitch but please contact us for further information. The trays will knit together forming a complete blanket within weeks (during growing season!), you can walk on them as well. The lightweight and click together aspect is perfect for Green Roofs.
The Presence of a Green Roof Layer Can Help With...
- UV Radiation… these materials breakdown by photochemical reactions but with a green roof this is absorbed by the vegetation.
- Heating/Freezing and Temperature of the Roof Surface… the extremes and alternation of temperature create tensions in the roof and enter cracks or seams which eventually break. This is especially the case in bitumen roofs. The presence of a green roof system really helps to prevent these problems.
- Uneven Heating of Different Roof Coatings… this results in blistering and deformation of the seals. A green roof helps to prevent this by equalising the heating throughout the roof and helps to provide a constant and stable temperature.
- Mechanical Damage… sometimes hail or wind can damage a roof, the green roof will help to prevent this acting as a buffer zone.
- Thermal Insulation… a green roof will help to ensure moderate temperature regimes. Warmer in winter and cooler in the summer.
- Sound Insulation… the green roof allows for sound absorption. The overall effect of this is associated with the size and structure of the green roof.
- Visual… besides less extreme temperatures, higher humidity and cleaner air, green roofs also provide attractive roofs and a softer roof environment. They are pretty to look at!
