Sedum Roof Supply
We supply pre-grown sedum mats cultivated for 18 months to ensure full vegetation cover. Our mats are harvested fresh from our Yorkshire farm and delivered within 24-48 hours, offering a quick, low-disruption solution. The drought-resistant sedum species thrive in diverse climates, providing immediate ecological and aesthetic benefits while requiring minimal maintenance.
Green Roof Installation
Our qualified team installs sedum roofs with precision, ensuring compatibility with existing waterproofing and structural requirements. We handle projects of all sizes, from domestic extensions to commercial buildings, using lightweight systems that meet building regulations. Clients receive tailored advice on edging, irrigation, and integration with features like skylights or retention bars.
Roof Maintenance
We offer annual or biannual maintenance visits to preserve the health and appearance of sedum roofs. Services include debris removal, weeding, replanting sparse areas, and drainage checks. Regular upkeep ensures long-term performance, with fertilisation and irrigation advice provided to optimise growth in varying weather conditions.
Waterproofing Advice
We recommend trusted builders for waterproofing solutions compatible with sedum roofs, ensuring durability against UV exposure and weather damage. Our team advises on retention bars, edging, and drainage systems to prevent waterlogging, extending the lifespan of both the green roof and underlying structure.
Eco-Friendly Landscaping
Beyond roofs, we support eco-conscious landscaping projects, including garden studios, bin stores, and outbuildings. Our sedum solutions enhance visual appeal while promoting biodiversity, noise reduction, and thermal efficiency. Clients receive guidance on integrating green roofs with broader sustainability goals for residential or commercial properties.
