Green Roof Maintenance

Maintaining a green roof is essential for ensuring its longevity and effectiveness. Regular tasks include: 

• Inspections

  Periodically check the condition of plants, soil, and drainage systems to identify any issues

• Weeding

  Remove any unwanted vegetation to prevent competition with desired plants and maintain a tidy appearance

• Irrigation

  Ensure plants receive adequate water, especially during dry periods. Adjust irrigation systems based on seasonal needs.

• Fertilization

  Provide necessary nutrients to support plant health and encourage optimal growth.

• Pruning

  Trim back overgrown vegetation to maintain the intended aesthetic and prevent overcrowding.

• Drainage Maintenance

  Keep drainage pathways clear to prevent water accumulation and potential damage to the roof structure.

By implementing a consistent maintenance routine, you can preserve the functionality and visual appeal of your green roof while maximizing its environmental benefits.
