Omni Infinity Media
Lightweight, high-porosity soil ecosystem
Grow plants in infinite landscapes
Omni Infinity Media® is a lightweight, high-porosity, diverse growth media growing plants in infinite landscapes. Omni Infinity Media is comprised of BIO and GEO.
BIO is THE LIFE of Omni Infinity Media. It is a proprietary set of probiotic, mineral, geological, and cellulosic components. BIO introduces the building blocks of soil development, including more than 1,500 species of microbes. It is used at 1/4” depth over any depth GEO to grow a soil ecosystem in extreme environments.
GEO is THE BASE of Omni Infinity Media. It is a geological substrate comprised of lightweight mineral aggregate. GEO is used at variable depths from as little as 3 inches to over 6 feet to provide a healthy rooting environment. At only 35-45 pounds/cubic foot when wet, GEO’s lightweight makes it ideal for use on structure. GEO’s high porosity remains exceptional over time, providing triple the stormwater control of typical prepared soil. Delivered dry at only 8 lbs/cf, it is the easiest growth media to install.
LIGHTWEIGHT
Lighter growth media that is easier to handle, install & ship; 100% peat free
DIVERSE PLANTING

HOW IT WORKS
Omni Infinity Media is rooted in the science of microbial colonization, biochemistry, and strategic ecosystem development to foster plant life. BIO is applied in a thin layer, as a top dressing over the GEO. This mimics natural soil horizons and allows macrobiotic crusts to form, nurturing seed germination and plant establishment. BIO introduces microbial communities and creates the conditions for life to flourish.
Omni Infinity Media is rooted in the science of nature and encourages that natural process to unfold rapidly. GEO and BIO transform into a robust landscape that grows within weeks after installation during a region’s typical growing season.
TESTIMONIALS
Don’t just take it from us. Get the dirt on Omni Infinity Media from developers, architects & contractors.
-
"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."
- Patrick O'Bryan, Project Executive,

"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."
