Omni Infinity Media
WHAT IS OMNI INFINITY MEDIA?
Omni Infinity Media®, is a lightweight, high-porosity growth media used to support plant growth in infinite landscapes. Omni Infinity Media is the flagship living infrastructure product from Omni Rewild, which equips design & trade professionals to grow soils & life through Omni Infinity Media. Omni Infinity Media is comprised of BIO, GEO, and a slow-release fertilizer.
THE LIFE
BIO is a proprietary set of probiotic, mineral, geological, and cellulosic components.
THE BASE
GEO is a geological substrate comprised of lightweight mineral aggregate.
Through colonization, biochemistry, and strategic ecosystem development, Omni Infinity Media supports microbial communities and plant life within the geological substrate. By creating the conditions for life to flourish and encouraging that natural process, these materials transform into a robust landscape that grows within weeks after installation during a region’s typical growing season.
Omni Infinity Media's high infiltration rate and high porosity make it an effective stormwater management tool. Omni Infinity Media has been used in bioinfiltration and bioretention depressions and berms, bioswales, rain gardens, and vegetative roofs, and has been used and/or approved for stormwater applications by the following authorities having jurisdiction: Boston Water and Sewer Commission, City of Chicago, Maryland Department of the Environment, Virginia DEP.

TESTIMONIALS
-
"With more than fifty species planted on top of a historic building, our mini prairie functions more as a thriving ecosystem than a green roof, creating food and habitat for birds, butterflies, insects, fungi, and now people."
- Jeanne Gang, Founding Principal & Partner,
-
"My team and I love maintaining OMNI's Meadow. We find they require much less labor to maintain than sedum roofs and the thoughtful biodiverse seed selection draws in and supports more of our pollinators."
- Jake Shumsky, Operations Manager, Maintenance,
-
"The green roofs express the building’s sustainability aspirations with its meadow plantings visible from blocks away. At the human scale, the terraces create incredible outdoor rooms for residents to connect. We’ve always believed that there is a return on good design and this project showed us that there is a direct return on Omni Ecosystems’ green infrastructure."
- Christopher S. Dillion, President,

"Omni Ecosystems is a game changer! Not only does it reduce the weight on our roofs, but it also eases the burden on our installation team. Our builders appreciate how lightweight and easy it is to move, making the work much less strenuous compared to using traditional green roof media. Incredibly, due to its biological component, it supports a wider variety of plants at shallower depths. Additionally, Omni offers excellent product support and is a fantastic partner to work with."
- Mark Winterer, Co-founder & Owner,

"We could not have asked for a better performance from you, going the extra mile made the difference. Bulley & Andrews looks forward to working with Omni Ecosystems in the future, and would gladly recommend you to any other contractors or clients considering working with you. We have found Omni Ecosystems to be very professional and highly competent, at the top of their field and always showed us the willingness to go above and beyond."

"DAVID RUBIN Land Collective had the pleasure to engage Omni Ecosystems on the Cummins Inc. DBU Headquarters. Omni’s soil mix is ideal for constrained sites and made for the perfect environment for a diverse palette. We were so impressed with Omni Ecosystems’ work that we asked them if they would implement the occupiable green roof of our new studio space. The roof landscape is verdant, floriferous, and a beautiful experience. DAVID RUBIN Land Collective recommends Omni Ecosystems wholeheartedly and without reservations. The firm is an incredible asset to any project team."
