I’ve seen some wild stuff growing up there when folks skip maintenance... not always intentional “green” either.
That’s a fair point—maintenance is definitely key, especially after a tough winter. But with the right setup and regular checks, green roofs can really thrive. I’ve found that a little preventative work early in spring saves a lot of hassle later. EPDM’s reliable for sure, but there’s something rewarding about seeing a well-kept green roof bounce back each year.
I keep wondering if all that spring maintenance is really worth it, or if I’m just being paranoid. My roof’s not green (just plain old asphalt shingles), but after last winter’s ice dams, I’m eyeing every patch of moss like it’s plotting against me. Does anyone else feel like the “right setup” always ends up costing more than you expect? I’d love a green roof, but honestly, I’m still trying to figure out how to keep the squirrels from moving in...
