Chicago Green Roof & Stormwater Maintenance

The City of Chicago is proud to host the largest green roof program in the country, but many clients don’t realize that green roofs are actually stormwater management systems that require maintenance by stormwater professionals. What’s more, caring for a green roof—that is often not readily visible—requires disciplined, proactive attention. Front Range offers the critical services property owners need to make sure this happens.

To perform green roof maintenance, Front Range’s client needed expertise in invasive and succulents plants, stormwater systems and roofing as well as special tools and equipment. They were concerned with OSHA requirements and a cost-effective solution to help them manage this unexpected expense.

In response, Front Range:

• Identified a cost-effective solution
• Provided documentation and pictures of work performed
• Removed debris
• Creatively used specialty designed “soft tools” for maintenance.

For the client’s convenience, all site visits were prearranged. In addition, Front Range provided an annual maintenance program with a fee structure that accommodated their limited budget.

The client is confident that Front Range addressed three unique areas of expertise. They are pleased that one call to Front Range keeps their roof functional and protects their investment in a vibrant, living green roof.
