Well, this is our guide to Spring maintenance for your sedum roof.
Spring maintenance for your sedum roof
One of the best things about a sedum roof is the lack of maintenance it requires. Essentially your green roof will look after itself. However, in Spring months, you should think about a couple of task you could undertake to make sure your sedum roof continues to look its best. This includes:
- cleaning the roof and gutters
- feeding the roof
Cleaning your sedum roof
Spring maintenance for your sedum roof should involve cleaning the roof. If you want your sedum roof to look great and attract wildlife, you need to remove litter and debris that may be gathering up there. Fallen leaves, rubbish or litter can all end up on your roof, and this can stop the sedum from receiving the sunlight necessary to grow. As a result, patches of sedum that have been hidden under litter can die off. Leaving unsightly patches of dead sedum or bare batches.
You should also check your draisn are clear and the gutters are OK while you are up there.
Feeding your sedum roof
While sedum might get most of the nutrients from rain and sun, it will benefit from an annual feed once the weather starts to warm up. This should take place every year, so why not make a note on your calendar?
