Specialized care for green roofs and the plants that define a property

Green roofs and high value plantings do not respond well to a generic mowing crew. Executive Landscaping provides dedicated green roof maintenance and plant health care for commercial, institutional, and healthcare properties across Connecticut and Westchester County, New York.

Both services are built on the same idea: inspect regularly, correct small problems early, and document what was done so facility teams and owners can see the condition of their assets.

Green roof maintenance

Vegetated roofs need routine attention to perform as designed: weeding out volunteer species, checking plant coverage, clearing drains and scuppers, inspecting growing media depth and edge conditions, and managing irrigation where present.

We follow the maintenance requirements of the roof system manufacturer and coordinate access, safety, and scheduling with your facilities staff. Visits are documented with notes and photos.

Replanting and infill work keeps coverage dense, which protects the membrane, controls stormwater, and keeps the roof looking intentional from the windows above it.

Plant health care

Our plant health program covers trees, shrubs, and perennial beds. It includes scheduled inspections for insect and disease pressure, soil and drainage review, fertility planning based on what the plants actually need, and corrective pruning.

Seasonal programs are matched to the property: dormant season structural pruning, spring and summer monitoring, and fall preparation. Treatment recommendations are explained in plain terms with the reason behind each one.

Documentation gives you a running history of each significant plant group, which is valuable for budgeting replacements and for showing stakeholders that the landscape is being managed, not just cut.

Frequently asked questions

Do you maintain green roofs that another company installed?

Yes. We review the system documentation, inspect the roof, and propose a maintenance schedule that fits the design and the warranty.

How often does a green roof need to be serviced?

Most extensive roofs need several visits a year, heavier in spring and fall. Intensive roofs with larger plantings need more frequent care. The schedule is set after the first inspection.

Is plant health care only for large campuses?

No. Any property with mature trees, foundation plantings, or specimen plants benefits from regular inspection and a plan.
