The type of vegetation chosen depends on the local climate conditions where the structure is located. Using native plants can often lead to minimal or even zero maintenance. It’s important to note that when you build an earth-sheltered home, the surface soil will eventually return to its natural state. You can choose to enhance or modify this with improved soil, irrigation systems, ornamental plants, or other feasible options for your area. Low-maintenance ground-cover plants are a great option. We provide detailed information on compatible and easy-to-maintain plants for rooftop gardens based on your geographical location.
