"The Concrete Advantage" #Draft 1

In the article “The Concrete Advantage” from Green Rooftop website, Green Rooftop claims that hydrophobic technology removes hazardous factors for users while assuring monetary returns. Concrete green roofs are sturdy and does not degrade over time. Green Rooftop states that use of waterproof concrete has helped to defeat the biggest overthrow of green roofs by removing the part found most speculative by the handlers. Constructor’s job are made easier since there is no use of membranes, eliminating the detriments in the build up. The task can be accomplished quicker as there is no concrete-cure waiting time before inclusion of the membrane, resulting in cost effectiveness for the user. Root barriers are unnecessary as growth of roots are eradicated with the use of waterproof concrete. In the case where maintenance is needed on the green roof, a simple inoculation of polyurethane grout can be induced at the bottom, minimizing any harm towards budding seedlings.

Dear Kenneth,

You have written a good detailed summary. But I feel that there are some pointers which you will want to take a look at.

1) I noticed a repeatedly use of “green rooftop”, which can replace with "the article" instead.

2) Some of the words did not have the intended meaning from the article, such as the budding seedlings (which only refer to plants).

Cheers,
