Green Roof Maintenance in Stratford-Upon-Avon
With the weather warming and growing season nearly upon us we were off to Stratford-Upon-Avon for some maintenance work on a lovely Sedum and wildflower roof.
Sedum is a practical and attractive choice for living roofs, especially residential ones, providing numerous benefits while requiring minimal maintenance. Some of the main benefits of using sedum on living roofs are:
- Low Maintenance: Sedum is a hardy plant that requires little maintenance. It can survive in harsh conditions, including extreme weather.
- Drought-Tolerant: Sedum is a drought-tolerant plant, which means it can survive long periods without water. This makes it an ideal choice for living roofs, as it can thrive in the limited soil and moisture conditions found on rooftops.
- Good Insulator: Sedum provides good insulation for buildings, helping to reduce energy consumption and keep buildings cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Sedum is a beautiful plant that adds visual interest to living roofs. It comes in a variety of colors and textures, making it an excellent choice for rooftop gardens and green roofs.
As you can see from the photos the sedum planting has established well, is very healthy and will look stunning as it grows again this season. And regular maintenance keeps it looking its best and keeps the roof and planting in great condition no matter what the weather brings.
