Prior to soil preparation, all areas showing any undesirable weed or grass growth shall be treated with Roundup or Cheetah Pro in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions at least one week prior to planting. An alternative method of treating/removing undesirable weed or grass growth must be approved by the Landscape Architect or the Owner's Representative. 2. When used, herbicides should conform to national, state, and local codes; should only be used as per label instructions; and should be used in a safe and environmentally protective manner. Applications should only be made by individuals properly licensed by the ODA. B. SOIL PREPARATION 1. Soil should be reasonably free of rocks, debris, and noxious weeds. Soils should be tested and, if it is subsoil or of poor quality, sufficient topsoil or amendments should be brought in to assure plant health. 2. Work all areas by: a. Rototilling to a minimum depth of 8" b. Removing all stones (over 11/2" size), sticks, mortar, large clumps of vegetation, roots, debris, or extraneous matter turned up in working c. Leveling, smoothing and compacting area to plus or minus 0.10' (feet) of required grades. 3. Imported soils should be free of disease, weeds, pests, and debris. Soil amendments should be free of diseases, pests, weeds, and or chemicals including herbicides. C. PLANTING HOLE 1. PREPARATION: Should consist of laying out plant locations, digging holes, and adding amendments if called for. 3. LOCATIONS: Plants should be located as per plan or specification. Placement should be modified to avoid existing utilities, and irrigation equipment. Major movement of plants should be approved by owner or owner's representative. If the contractor recognizes problems with ultimate plant size for area specified, contractor should inform Landscape Architect or the Owner's Representative in writing about substituting or moving plant. 2. PLANT HOLES a. Planting holes should be dug with a width 2 to 2 1/2 times the root ball and to a depth 2”-4” less than the original root ball's depth in the container or ball. The depth of the root ball in the planting hole should leave the root crown 2” above the finished grade to allow for settling after planting and mulch application. b. Planting holes should be dug with the sides as vertical as the soil will allow. In heavy soils the sides taper away from the center of the planting pit. The base of the planting hole should be left undisturbed if possible and should be firmed prior to planting. c. In heavy soils, if the sides of the planting hole are glazed, the sides of the hole should be scarified. d. For planting bare root trees and shrubs, a cone shaped mound should be created in the base of the planting hole to support the roots. D. SOIL MIX Prepare soil mix in each planting hole by mixing: § 2-part native topsoil (no subsoil) § 1 part compost (as approved) For groundcovers areas add 2” of compost (or as approved) and rototill in to the top 6” of soil. Thoroughly mix in planting hole and add fertilizers at the following rates: § 2-part native topsoil (no subsoil) § Small shrubs: 1/8 pound per plant § Shrubs: 1/3 to ½ pounds per plant § Trees: 1/3 to 1.0 pounds per plant E. FERTILIZER Fertilizers may be organic or and can be in pellet, tabular, granular, or liquid form. All fertilizers used must have labeling that conforms to environmental and safety requirements set forth by state and national regulations. All fertilizers should be applied as per label instructions, as indicated by soil tests and in a manner that is environmentally safe. F. PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS 1. MOVING: As trees and shrubs are moved to position on the site, the container and/or root ball should be always supported. Do not carry plants by trunks/branches only. 2. Container plants should be removed carefully from containers, checked for circling or girdling roots, and placed plumb in the planting hole. If there are circling and/or girdling roots, they should be pulled outward and straightened or pruned prior to planting. 3. Balled and bur lapped plants should be placed in the planting hole, then the ties should be removed completely. Burlap should be cut off at least from the top half the ball and if treated, should be removed entirely. Care should be taken to tuck burlap deep into planting hole so that it cannot wick moisture to the soil surface after planting. 4. TREES WITH WIRE BASKETS, the wire grids should be cut down completely to the base, unless the nursery guide says otherwise. 5. BAREROOT: Trees and shrubs should only be planted in the bareroot season for the area being planted. Damaged and/or dead roots should be removed prior to planting and the crown should remain un-pruned. Roots should be placed over a compacted mound in the planting hole and carefully filled over to remove large air pockets. Care should be taken to ensure graft is no lower than soil level. 6. BACKFILL: Prior to backfilling, the soil and backfill should be moist but not wet. In heavy soils, planting should take place in native soil removed from the hole. In light soils the backfill should be mixed with soil amendments as specified. Amendments with high carbon to nitrogen ratios should not be used when planting new plants. Planting holes should be backfilled in layers to firmly surround the plant's roots. Large air pockets should all be removed. If planting holes are settled using water, care should be taken to avoid over compaction and subsequent loss of structure. 7. WATERING: Plants should be thoroughly watered in after back fill. In light soils or situations where water will not stay in plant root zone area, water basins should be created to facilitate watering until the plants are established. 8. FINISH GRADING: All planting areas should be graded to a smooth finish and mulched to a 2”-4” depth as specified to complete the work. For planting bare root trees and shrubs, a cone shaped mound should be created in the base of the planting hole to support the roots. 9. PRUNING: At planting time, pruning should be kept to a minimum. Damaged, diseased and/or dead material should be removed. G. PLANTING GROUNDCOVER, AND PERENNIAL PLANTS For groundcover, and/or perennial plantings, entire beds should be prepared and amended as specified prior to planting. Plants should be planted at the spacing and pattern specified and then watered in. H. STAKING OF TREES Stake or guy all trees. Stakes shall be 2" X 2" (nom.) quality tree stakes with point. They shall be of Douglas Fir, clear and sturdy. Stake to be minimum 2/3 the height of the tree, not to exceed Drive stake firmly 1'-6” below the planting hole. Tree ties for deciduous trees shall be "Chainlock" (or better). For Evergreen trees use "Gro-Strait" Tree Ties (or a reinforced rubber hose and guy wires) with guy wires of a minimum 2 strand twisted 12 ga. wire. Staking and guying shall be loose enough to allow movement of tree while holding tree upright. Staking should be removed after installation about a season and a half. If special circumstances warrant it, staking may remain on for longer periods, but ties should be checked every three months to prevent binding or girdling of trunks. I. MULCHING OF PLANTINGS Mulch should be free of disease and insects. Mulch planting areas with a fine dark bark to a depth of 2" in ground cover areas and 2 1/2" in shrub beds. Apply evenly, not higher than grade of plant as it came from the nursery, and rake to a smooth finish. Water thoroughly, then hose down planting area with fine spray to wash leaves of plants. J. SODDING TURFGRASS: SOIL PREPARATION 1. Soil should be prepared as in Section B: Soil Preparation 2. Finish grade should be a minimum of 1” below surface of adjoining hardscapes. 3. Prior to seeding or sodding, soil should be evenly moistened. 4. Fertilization should be based on soil tests and low amounts of soluble nitrogen should be applied prior to planting. 5. Prior to seeding or sodding, entire area should be rolled with a drum roller to firmly compact the grade. K. SODDING 1. Sod used should be compatible with the microclimate being landscaped. 2. Sod delivered to installation sites should be used within 24 hours, or special precautions should be taken to avoid drying and/or burning. 3. Sod should be laid in straight rows with the ends of sod strips making close contact with each other and end joints staggered. Sod should make firm contact with the soil. 4. After sod is laid, and prior to initial watering, it should be rolled. 5. On steep slopes, sod should be laid perpendicular to the slope and should be fastened with turf staples. 6. Sod and soil bed should be kept moist throughout the planting operation. Upon completion of planting, sod should be thoroughly watered and placed under irrigation or watered regularly. 7. First mowing of sod should take place as soon as sod has rooted in. No more than 1/3 of leaf height should be removed at anyone mowing. L. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Work described in these specifications is to be consistently maintained and protected against all defects of materials and workmanship, through final acceptance. Plants not in normal healthy condition at the end of this period are to be replaced. Plants are to be watered, weeded, cultivated, mulched and/or reset to proper grade or upright position, dead wood removed, and necessary standard operations maintained. Irrigate when necessary to avoid drying out of plant materials, and to promote healthy growth. M. CLEAN-UP At completion of each stage of work all extra material, supplies, equipment, etc., shall be removed from the site. All walks, paving, or other surfaces shall be swept clean, mulch areas shall have debris removed. All areas of the project shall be kept tidy. NOTE: ANY PROPOSED CHANGES TO OUR SPECIFICATION OR DETAILS SHOULD BE APPROVED BY THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. LIKEWISE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH BEST PRACTICES OF LOCAL LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION, SHOULD THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT BE SO ADVISED. ¹½Î¹ÀÎÀp
