I'd love to know how the green roof was done. What was used as a barrier underneath? How deep is it, etc.?

Great use of a green roof! We don't see many in single family homes on the East Coast- more on multi-family and commercial spaces. They usually have a membrane underneath and are seedum based roves that are about 4" thick.
