Other Information: Founded in 2006, LiveRoof is a division of Hortech, Inc., one of the Midwest’s leading wholesale growers of sustainably-grown perennials. Hortech Inc. and its subsidiaries are led by founder Dave MacKenzie: horticulturalist, biologist, inventor, and author. After achieving national renown as a leader in horticulture, Dave had sufficient experience to re-think and improve green roofs as a key contributor to responsible green building design. This led to a new company, LiveRoof Global, LLC (in 2006) which quickly became the industry standard for quality. In addition to developing a more sustainable and better functioning green roof system, we are unique in our local presence through industry-leading nurseries in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and New Zealand. For the LiveRoof system to thrive in all climate types, it has to be tested, produced, and cared for in the climate where it will be installed. Our products are backed by a network of professional growers which pool together over 500 years of collective experience, ensuring continual improvement and the highest quality on all projects.
