At VS Landscape Group, we specialize in keeping commercial properties looking their best — from the ground level all the way up to the rooftop. One of the most rewarding parts of our work is helping clients bring their green roofs back to life after they’ve become overgrown or neglected.
Before: When a Green Roof Gets Out of Control
Earlier this season, an Ottawa hospital reached out with a rooftop that had gotten completely out of hand. What started as a low-maintenance green roof had turned into a dense patch of tall grass, weeds, and invasive plants that were beginning to choke out the intended vegetation. Beyond the visual impact, this overgrowth also risked damaging the roof membrane and blocking drains — a costly issue waiting to happen.
After: Restored, Refreshed, and Ready for the Season
Our team arrived with specialized equipment designed for rooftop maintenance. We carefully trimmed, cleared, and reshaped the vegetation — restoring the roof’s appearance, drainage flow, and health. Within a single day, the roof looked brand new again.
After the initial cleanup, we set up a bi-monthly maintenance schedule to keep the roof in top shape year-round. This ongoing care ensures that the vegetation stays balanced, drains remain open, and the building continues to enjoy the insulation and sustainability benefits of a thriving green roof.
