The product is a modular solution for green roof design and installation. Instead of having to install a green roof layer by layer, the product will be a completely manufactured tray that includes all green roof layers already installed and in place within the tray. The end user only needs to purchase the product and place the tray on top of an existing roof. The tray will be manufactured out of a corrosion resistant metal and will include a drainage system, all necessary root barriers, drainage and filter layers, growing media (either seeded or with already growing setum and plants). The product will also be available in deeper planter sizes and as paver systems. All product sizes will interlock and be interchangeable allowing for easy replacement and redesign of the green roof. The product will also be available in multiple depths and sizes depending on project requirements and structural limits. The product will be constructed so as to allow placement on top of an existing or new roof membrane with no further installation work required. The product will be easily transportable and installable. The trays will enable 'do it yourself' green roof installations, temporary green roof installations, and modular/scalable green roof installations. The product will be used in both commercial and residential applications. The product will also be manufactured so as to suit green wall applications. In both the green roof and green wall applications, the product will be available with an added insulation layer
