The photo shows clearly how when people invest some money ant toke it seriously, a smart landscaper can improve the life of their clients and increase the economical value of a building.
Covering your roof in Sedums (or other Crassulaceae) is not only beautiful, it has some extra advantages.
1) Insulation against scorching sun so you save in air conditioner
2) Protecting the house against wildfire sparks. This things are decent fire retardants. Aeonium and Sempervivum are used traditionally as lightning protection in South of Europe.
They require a careful previous work for designing the roof to stand the extra weight (fortunately Sedum can grow in one cm of soil), and a few extra work for maintaining and weeding (They will need to remove weeds routinely in that humid climate). Also could look untidy in some months or have dry flower stalks, but the benefits overcome the cons
I love the movement and levity that Nassella brings.
