The Roof Crop (TRC) is a design-focused urban agriculture initiative dedicated to sustainability, ecological stewardship, and community engagement. Founded in 2013 to promote farmable green roof systems, TRC has grown into a full-service green roof growing media, landscape, and urban farming company with strong ties to the communities we serve.

We cultivate flowers, produce, and natural dyes in green roofs and urban green spaces, both residential and commercial. TRC designs and maintains productive landscapes that reconnect people with sustainable practices.

Suitable for amenity decks, patios, and large-scale developments, TRC maintenance plans and partnerships provide a more engaged experience than traditional landscaping contracts.

At our core, we are inspired by creating thoughtful systems and products that support both people and the environment.

U-PICK GARDENS

Our U-Pick planters and gardens are filling in nicely, adding seasonal color and greenery to the landscape. Designed for office and residential buildings, they provide an attractive, low-maintenance amenity that enhances shared outdoor spaces in urban environments.

END OF SEASON

We're scheduling our fall clean-ups, the season is coming to an end!

Our 2027 tulip bulbs have arrived and will be planted in early-November.

The Roof crop industries

In 2025 we wrapped up a rooftop installation for Allium Events and Blue Plate, adding a bit more Green to Chicago's skyline.
