Did you know green roofs have proven to benefit a community’s wildlife, air quality, and water systems?

On a mission to make the community a more sustainable and greener place, Ozark Green Roofs is a green roof company that serves Arkansas and surrounding regions. This environmentally-friendly company transforms typical roofs into beautiful, flowery gardens. 

Owner, Lee Porter, came to ASBTDC with a pretty established, project-based business. However, she had dreams to grow her business and had a few questions on managing her business and financing options.

Since partnering with ASBTDC, Lee has already exceeded many goals. Our consultants provided competitive research that allowed her to redefine her pricing and increase revenue. Lee says she now has a better understanding of managing her business’s finances. 

Our marketing team was able to advise Lee on her marketing strategies and helped her raise awareness about her services through online advertisements. Ozark Green Roofs has also been featured in two publications to raise visibility.

Through ASBTDC’s resources and dedicated consultants, Lee and Ozark Green Roofs have already seen significant growth and progress. She even hired her first employee and established a strong plan to grow her business regionally. 

We love seeing how our services impact our client’s business and benefit the community. Here are Lee’s thoughts on how ASBTDC has helped her business and what is in store for 2022:

1. How has ASBTDC helped your business? ASBTDC helped Ozark Green Roofs in 2021 by giving me guidance on how to grow the business from working locally to working regionally. 
2. What are your business goals for 2022? In 2022, our main goal is to grow from being a local to a regional green roof provider. That means doing Lunch and Learns with architecture and engineering firms, and making contacts with contractors and developers who work in Tulsa, Little Rock, and Bentonville, all while continuing to design, install, and maintain existing green roofs. 
3. Is anything exciting coming up for Ozark Green Roofs? We just hired our first employee! I believe that two brains are better than one, and I can’t wait to see how her ideas, work, and perspective help us grow!
4. Why should homeowners and businesses consider a green roof? New developments should consider green roofs because they help improve the urban environment and can lower stormwater fees for the property. They also help increase biodiversity on-site that is otherwise lost through the building footprint and decrease the urban heat island impact.
