BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE JOB:

Green Roof Pergola Project – Steel and Scape

At Steel and Scape, we are proud to design and fabricate bespoke outdoor structures that combine form, function, and sustainability. Our latest project showcases our expertise in creating a Green Roof in Cheshire, installed on one of our custom steel cantilever pergolas. This living roof has developed beautifully over the past few weeks, creating a space that is both environmentally friendly and visually striking.

A Modern Structure with Natural Harmony

The foundation of this project is our bespoke steel pergola, designed and built in-house by our expert steel fabricators. Its cantilevered design provides a clean, modern profile that requires no visible supports on one side, giving the structure a light and open feel. Despite its minimal appearance, the pergola is engineered for strength, durability, and long-term stability.

The Beauty of a Living Roof

The highlight of this installation is the green living roof, which has quickly taken shape to form a lush, natural canopy. This eco-friendly feature enhances the look of the pergola while delivering real environmental benefits. It helps to regulate temperature, improve air quality, and support local biodiversity. Over time, the green roof will continue to mature, providing seasonal colour and texture throughout the year.

A Haven for Wildlife

This green roof in Cheshire now serves as a small but valuable habitat for birds, bees, and pollinating insects. By integrating living roofs into our steel designs, we create outdoor structures that actively contribute to the local ecosystem. The combination of strong, industrial materials with soft, organic planting results in a unique balance between modern architecture and natural life.

Craftsmanship and Collaboration

Every detail of this project reflects our dedication to quality craftsmanship and sustainable design. From precision steel fabrication to careful roof planting, each stage is completed with attention and care.

We would like to thank our sister companies, Acorn Landscape Services and Green Waste NW, for their continued support and expertise. Together, we bring innovation and environmental responsibility to every project we deliver.

At Steel and Scape, we continue to lead the way in designing and fabricating bespoke outdoor structures featuring the finest green roofs in Cheshire, combining durability, beauty, and sustainability in perfect harmony.
