Maintenance
With Living Roofs you can be confident that your client will get the wow-factor they expect. By including 1-2 years of maintenance in the construction contract you can expect excellent plant survival rates, proof that drains are free of debris, and peace of mind knowing that the irrigation system will be fine-tuned to the unique microclimate of your project.
We ensure proper transport, staging, handling, and installation of all plant material from the moment it leaves the nursery until it's installed on your project.
Following installation we properly water-in all plants by hand, use temporary irrigation as needed, and shepherd your plants through establishment until they’re strong enough to perform on their own, long after the ribbon cutting—year after year.
It is natural for plants to sometimes fail for various reasons. That's why we offer maintenance services in our Construction contracts.
When you include 1-2 years of maintenance on your project you don't have to worry about losing plants or having to replace them. We take care of everything.
On every maintenance visit, our expert green roof technicians will inspect and clear any debris that may have accumulated around any drains.
We are thorough with drain inspections because they are key to the long-lasting success of your green roof.
During inevitable periods of high heat and drought, irrigation systems supplement naturally occurring rain events.
With 1-2 years of maintenance in your construction contract, we take time through the seasons to fine-tune watering regimens that both conserve and deliver water when needed most based on the unique microclimate on your roof. We also winterize and restart systems as needed. When our maintenance contract concludes, operations training is included before hand off.
