For green roof and stormwater maintenance firms

Built for the firms that keep living roofs and stormwater working.

Manteverde is built for the companies that inspect and maintain other people’s green roofs and stormwater structures: the roof specialists, the stormwater maintenance and inspection companies, the landscape firms that have taken on swales and basins, and the installers who keep the contract after handover. The roof and the pond are your client’s. The record of the work is yours.

The four firms

Find your firm here.

Green and living roof maintenance specialists

Who you are
Your main business is the recurring care of extensive and intensive green roofs on commercial, institutional and multi-residential buildings. The roof belongs to the client; the inspection history belongs to you.
Your week
Seasonal rounds across several roofs: clearing drain outlets and inspection chambers, checking substrate and erosion, pulling weeds and tree seedlings, filling bare patches against the planting plan, photographing anything near the membrane edges. Then turning notes and phone photos into something the client can read.
What your clients judge you on
Whether the roof drains, whether the planting matches the specification, and whether the paperwork arrives on time in a form they can hand on.

What Manteverde is built to do for you

  • Split each roof into zones by drainage area, exposure or planting, so every finding stays where it was seen.
  • Draw vegetation coverage against the specification target you set, zone by zone.
  • Send the Living Roof Report from the visits themselves, not retyped from notes.

Stormwater maintenance and inspection companies

Who you are
You inspect and maintain post-construction stormwater BMPs (catch basins, underground vaults, separators, ponds, outfalls, swales and rain gardens) under the maintenance agreement your client holds for each property.
Your week
Annual inspections structure by structure, sediment readings and cleanouts, checks after heavy rain, access arranged around car parks and confined spaces, and a report per structure that your inspector signs.
What your clients judge you on
A consistent inspection history for every structure, problems fixed and shown fixed, and reports their own submission can rely on, without the firm overstating what it saw.

What Manteverde is built to do for you

  • Pin every structure on the property’s site map with its access and safety notes.
  • Inspect each one by the protocol for its type, with readings drawn against the line you set.
  • Send the annual Stormwater Inspection Report per structure, signed by your inspector.

Landscape firms adding stormwater work

Who you are
You already maintain commercial grounds. Now the same clients ask you to look after the bioswales, rain gardens, permeable paving and pond banks on their sites, work with its own checklist and its own paperwork.
Your week
Grounds crews on one rhythm, stormwater work on another: inlets to clear after a storm, plants to cut back in the swale, sediment to lift from a forebay. Too often it ends up in the same job notes as mowing.
What your clients judge you on
Whether you treat the stormwater assets like a specialist would: inspected by protocol, problems recorded and closed, records they can keep.

What Manteverde is built to do for you

  • Give the stormwater work its own structures, protocols and findings beside your grounds visits.
  • Keep each swale’s and rain garden’s history on the structure, not with whoever visited last.
  • Quote, schedule and invoice it with the rest of the client’s work.

Installers who keep the maintenance contract

Who you are
You build green roofs and stormwater features, and you keep maintaining what you hand over: the establishment period first, then the longer maintenance agreement.
Your week
Return visits to handed-over projects: plants establishing against the planting plan, bare areas filled, outlets cleared, the first inspections documented carefully, because your name is on both the build and the upkeep.
What your clients judge you on
That the roof or the swale performs as designed after handover, and that you can show exactly what was inspected, when, and what was done about it.

What Manteverde is built to do for you

  • Use the specification as the baseline from the first inspection onward.
  • Record the handover inspection and the first season’s visits on the same record.
  • Turn the establishment care into a maintenance agreement your client renews.

Inside the firm

One record, read by everyone who does the work.

  • The owner

    Answers for the margin and the risk. Built to show, across every property, which roofs sit below specification, which findings are still open and which agreements come up for renewal.

  • Operations and account managers

    Hold the client relationship and the calendar. Built to plan each property’s visits and inspections, and to send the reports when the client asks or when you choose.

  • Horticulturists and crew leads

    Clear, cut back, replant, lift sediment and repair. Built to show which structure, which finding and what “done” looks like, and to close the loop with a photo.

  • Field technicians

    Work the site structure by structure. Built to log a finding where it is found, with the photo, the reading and a severity: routine, attention needed or deficiency.

  • The inspector who signs

    Holds the credential and signs the annual report. Built to keep the credential on file, record what was inspected by which protocol, and sign a statement of what was observed.

Who it’s built around

Your clients own the roofs, the basins and the ponds.

Their property managers, boards and facilities teams hold the maintenance agreement and read the reports. They are the reason the record matters, and they are never the account holder: Manteverde is built for the firm they hire.

Your client keeps the reports and makes any submission their agreement or permit asks for. Manteverde never files anything with a city or agency.

Not for

Who Manteverde isn’t built for.

  • Homeowners

    A garden shed roof or a backyard rain garden is not what it is built around.

  • Installers with no maintenance work

    If the job ends at handover, there is no recurring record to keep.

  • Owners looking for a firm

    Manteverde does not list, rate or supply maintenance firms. It is the record kept by the firm you hire.

  • Design and specification

    It starts after the roof or the structure is built: inspection, upkeep and the record.

  • Pond water-quality treatment

    Aeration, fountains, algae treatment and water testing are a different specialist’s work. Manteverde inspects a pond as a stormwater structure.

Inspections record what is observed on the day. Manteverde does not warranty or certify membrane integrity, structural condition or safe entry, and never files anything with a city or agency: reports are formatted for your client’s own submission.
