Protecting Landscaping During Roof Replacement

Tear-off and material handling happen around the exterior of the home. Protection and cleanup expectations should be discussed before installation starts.

Walk the property first

Point out delicate landscaping, irrigation equipment, lighting, furniture, pools, HVAC equipment, and other areas of concern.

Move what you can

Relocate portable furniture, decorations, grills, toys, and other movable items away from work zones when requested.

Ask about protection methods

Providers may use tarps, plywood, catchment systems, or other methods depending on the home and project.

Document existing conditions

Pre-project photographs can provide a useful record of landscaping and exterior conditions.
