How Often Do You Really Need to Service Your Stuff?

I’ve definitely learned the hard way that skipping steps with green roofs just isn’t worth it. A few years ago, I thought the membrane looked fine—no obvious tears or anything—so I ignored a spring check. By fall, roots had already started poking through in one corner and it cost me a weekend to fix. Now I do a walkaround every spring and after any big storm, just to catch stuff early. It’s not glamorous, but it beats tearing up the whole thing down the line. Quality barriers and regular checks have saved me more than once.
