The Grass Roof Company - Urban Green Space Maintenance

URBAN GREEN SPACE MAINTENANCE

We offer a unique maintenance package. We complete the basic work within the maintenance contract with care. That's the easy bit. We then work with the Estate to look at their green spaces from a new angle.

What do you want from your green space? What do the kids want from the green space? Do you want to reduce the herbicide use? Do you want to get away from the shrub/grass Estate culture? Do you want to add biodiversity? How about Green Roofs on your garages?

Maureen - Chair of the residents' board and long time supporter of the green space initiatives.	As part of our maintenance work we have planted and look after herb beds which are open for every one to use. The black peppermint and coriander have proved to be the most popular.	Here's a communal Rosemary bed, ready for residents to use.	Mowing? Stop for a while.


We always try to use flowers in the areas of the Estate that would traditionally have been sprayed twice yearly. We are also working with wildflower meadow turf to replace herbicide use entirely.	Why not get out of the 'trim shrubs, cut grass' cycle. Use annuals and herbaceous planting to kick-start those neglected corners of your Estate.	Why not add biodiversity with a mix of showy, non-native plants to get the public's approval, mixed with important native species. Biodiversity doesn't have to be dull!
