should be contracted to the living roof construction company for liability reasons,
and one for long-term maintenance of the vegetation and other components of
the roof which can be contracted out to either the construction irm or another
living roof maintenance company.
The following topics should be considered for both maintenance manuals:
•  Regular maintenance during establishment phase and long- term maintenance 
by trained professionals, with a site-speciic introduction and a commitment
to maintaining the roof according to the manual. Where stormwater
management is a design objective, restrictions on the composition, timing and
frequency of fertilizer application needs to be speciically deined because of
its potential implications for runoff water quality.
•  Deinition  and  the  required  type  of  maintenance  to  keep  the  living  roof 
healthy,  functioning  and  aesthetically  acceptable.  Maintenance  includes 
irrigation system servicing; drain function and cleaning; winterizing of
irrigation systems in cold climates to avoid pipe rupture due to freezing
temperatures; monitoring and eradication of erosion damage; mowing or
cutting of the roof plants; deliberate weeding of invasive species, pioneering
or randomly-appearing plants, to maintain the planting concept; inspecting
the integrity of the safety system for maintenance crew.
