How Our Roofing Team Protects Your Landscaping During Roof Replacement

When you hire a roofing company in Little Rock or Hot Springs, you’re trusting them with more than just your roof — you’re trusting them with your home and everything around it. At Roelke Roofing, we know how much care and effort you’ve put into your yard, garden, and landscaping. That’s why keeping your property safe and tidy is a top priority for us.

Tearing off an old roof is a messy job. Shingles, nails, felt paper — it all has to come down. While most of the debris goes straight into a dump trailer, there’s always a chance that small pieces will roll off valleys or blow into your yard. For homeowners with carefully maintained gardens, this can be a real concern.

A common solution is to cover plants with tarps. While tarps can protect against falling debris, they can also trap heat and moisture — essentially turning into a mini greenhouse that suffocates delicate plants. Roses, flowering shrubs, and small garden plants are especially at risk in the hot Arkansas sun.

Instead of laying tarps directly on your flowers and shrubs, we build custom wooden “stand-offs” to raise the tarps above the plants. This simple but effective setup:

• Prevents the tarp’s weight from snapping branches
• Allows air circulation to prevent heat buildup
• Keeps debris from damaging blooms and leaves

We connect the stands together for extra stability, ensuring the tarps stay in place throughout the tear-off process.

For many homeowners, landscaping is a labor of love. The last thing you want after investing in a new roof is to lose your favorite flowers in the process. By using these protective measures, we ensure your yard looks just as beautiful after the roofing job as it did before we arrived.

At Roelke Roofing, a clean roofing worksite isn’t just about sweeping up nails — it’s about respecting your property as if it were our own. Whether you’re in Little Rock, Hot Springs, or nearby, we bring the same care and attention to every job.
