Sedum Roof Maintenance – Dublin Docklands
1,500 m² Green Roof | Long-Term Asset Protection
This 1,500 m² sedum roof in Dublin Docklands is a clear example of how a proper green roof maintenance programme can restore and protect a major roof asset.
When maintenance began, the roof was close to failure, with sedum coverage reduced to approximately 25%. Moss ingress and declining plant vigour indicated long-term risk to the system. A structured sedum maintenance programme was introduced, focused on regular feeding, correct nutrient selection, and scheduled site visits.
Over a three-year maintenance period, sedum coverage has increased to nearly 90%, forming a dense, healthy sward across the roof. The sedum now shows excellent colour, bulk, and resilience, with no evidence of pest or disease issues.
Crucially, the strengthened sward has naturally suppressed moss and unwanted weeds, achieving an estimated 70–80% reduction through competition alone. This approach avoids aggressive intervention and supports the long-term integrity of the green roof build-up.
This project demonstrates why sedum roofs in Dublin Docklands require ongoing, professional maintenance. Green roofs are not install-and-forget systems—they are living assets that perform best when managed correctly over time.
