The natural choice for urban greening
All types of living roofs, living walls, podium and roof gardens require regular care to meet their divergent needs, starting from installation. This ensures they remain stunning, weed free and safe for residents; and that irrigation, drainage and waterproofing are in peak condition. P&P’s expert teams are trained to the highest standards to support all green infrastructure and to work safely at any height and situation.
There is no such thing as a no-maintenance living roof. Like any ground-level garden, if left alone, nature will soon take over. Different roofs require different maintenance regimes. Intensively planted roofs require more visits than lower-maintenance brown or sedum roofs.
All gardens, whether on the ground floor or the 90th floor, need regular maintenance. However, the unique nature of podiums and roof gardens requires specialist care, not just to ensure they stay beautiful, but also safe for users and the building.
Modular green walls are vertical gardens made up of a multitude of small plants, which – like any living thing – need regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. Regular visits are required to feed, prune, replace plants and check irrigation and drainage systems.
A green façade comprises climbers and shrubs trained to climb a stainless steel bar-and-wire-rope trellis. The climbers need to be managed to ensure they don’t become tangled, interfere with gutters etc. or block light from windows.
Properly installed, irrigated and maintained living roofs and walls should last for decades. If the plants on your green roof or in your green wall are struggling or if the weeds are taking over, you need to call P&P’s Green Doctor Service for a free diagnosis.
