Dear house-building community,
We want to extensively green our carport. It is basically already prepared with an EPDM membrane. This is something we plan to tackle sometime in the future. We have heard that it’s not very complicated, and since we are not under any time pressure, we want to do it ourselves—next year or the year after.
Now the information gathering begins, and I wanted to tap into the collective knowledge here.
Has anyone done this before? Which suppliers can you recommend? What should we definitely pay attention to? Etc.
Did you use seeds or plants? How long does it take until it actually looks good?
Looking forward to your feedback!

What’s wrong with the moss? It actually performs the functions a green roof is supposed to have.
I would only remove the weeds and tree seeds. Um, nothing. So, it fits well then. Can I just add the Bauder mix to it?

Who’s looking at that? There are also people who want to do something for nature. 😉
And from the upper floor, you often have a view of the garage.
