Bad Maintenance VS Good Maintenance

FAQ – Green Roof Maintenance

What is a Sedum roof?

Sedum roof is a type of living green roof using hardy, drought-tolerant plants to improve insulation, biodiversity, and stormwater management.

How often should a green roof be maintained?

Maintenance includes monthly weeding, weekly irrigation checks, quarterly inspections, and seasonal preparation.

Why hire horticulturists instead of roofers?

Horticulturists understand plant care, substrate nutrients, irrigation, and pest management, whereas roofers focus on waterproofing.

What happens if a green roof is poorly maintained?

Issues include plant dieback, invasive weeds, blocked drainage, substrate depletion, and poor aesthetics.

How does professional maintenance improve ROI?

Healthy, well-maintained roofs last longer, prevent costly repairs, and deliver sustainable, eco-friendly benefits.

At Grasshopper Services, we specialize in transforming urban spaces through our eco-friendly and aesthetically appealing sedum roofing solutions (also known as green roofs).

Whether you have a residential, commercial, or industrial building, our expert team is dedicated to delivering a tailored solution that meets your needs.

What is Sedum / Green Roofing?

Sedum roofing is a type of extensive green roof system, primarily planted with hardy, drought-tolerant succulents from the sedum family. These plants are ideal for rooftops due to their shallow roots, ability to thrive in varying climates, and minimal maintenance requirements. Sedum plants are known for their resilience, growing in thin soil layers, and thriving in harsh conditions with little watering or care. A sedum roof not only looks beautiful but also provides numerous environmental benefits.

There are two main types of green roofs:

  • Extensive Sedum Roofs: Lightweight, typically used in residential or low-load-bearing commercial applications, requiring minimal maintenance and ideal for flat or low-sloped roofs.
  • Intensive Green Roofs: Thicker and designed to support a wider range of plant species, including shrubs and even small trees. These roofs require more maintenance but create a more diverse and lush environment.

Can not believe how ultra efficient these guys are, they came in started immediately. Weeds were very bad as tall as myself but they cleared them, cut grass, pruned trees and plants, nothing was a hassle. These guys are super troopers, and the price was extremely reasonable. Thanks guys will be back to you again.

Incredible support and service. The team was able to come in and remove a bamboo tree that the previous owner had put in the property, they were super helpful and kind and they were super passionate and even gave us tips on how to take care of some of the plants we have in our garden from the previous owner. Would definitely recommend and will definitely reach out to them in future!

Absolutely incredible job by Grasshopper. As you can see from the photos, the back garden was completely overgrown and had turned into a jungle. It honestly hadn’t been properly tackled since around 2015, so this was a massive job. From start to finish, the correspondence from the office staff was amazing. Everything was well organized, from confirming the appointment time to sending text messages letting me know the team was on the way. That kind of communication makes a big difference. The lads who arrived did an unbelievable job. They worked so hard, cleared everything back, tidied the place up, and completely transformed the garden. The difference is night and day it honestly looks like a completely different space. I’m genuinely blown away by the result. Professional, hard-working, well organized, and the results speak for themselves. Well done to everyone at Grasshopper, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks Paddy Ryan
Response from the owner:Hi Patrick we are delighted that we could be at your service & look forward to be hearing from you again soon.

Excellent service from start to finish. My garden had become quite overgrown. The team completely brought it back to life and clearly really know what they’re doing. They shaped and pruned the bushes beautifully with real skill and attention to detail, and the whole garden now looks tidy, healthy, and full of life again. They worked hard, were professional and friendly throughout, and the price was extremely fair for the quality of work provided. I’m genuinely delighted with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, reliable garden specialists. I will definitely be using them again.
