mutually agreed upon by parities concerned.
B. Excavation: When conditions detrimental to plant growth are encountered, such as rubble
fill, adverse drainage conditions, or obstruction, notify Owner's Representative before
planting.
C. Adjacent Landscape: Protect planted areas adjacent to construction area. Replace or
recondition to prior conditions at project completion.
D. Tree Protection:
D.I. Existingtrees to remain should be protected before an site/demolition. Tree
P Y
protection area is defined as the area within the drip line diameter.
D.2. Place protective fencing around a tree protection zone. Protective fencing shold
consist of highly visible, physical barrier (a minimum 6-foot high chain -link fence is
recommended) to be placed 10-feet outside the dripline of the tree(s).
D.3. Do not strip topsoil or grub under story within protection area. The tree under story to
be removed shall be cut instead of pulling or grubbing. Leave the soil undisturbed.
DA. Prohibit earth stockpiling, material storage, vehicle parking and traffic within tree
protection area.
D.5. Prohibit dumping of refuse, chemicals, and other materials and puddling or running
water that may injure tree growth.
D.6. Prohibit cutting, breaking, and skinning of branches and roots. All pruning of
branches and roots is to be performed by a Certified Arborist.
D.7. Prohibit skinning and bruising of bark.
D.8. No changes in grade should be made within the dripline of existing trees.
D.9. Temporary irrigation is highly recommended for all remaining trees during
construction. This system should provide adequate coverage and quantity of water
during all phases of construction.
D.10. Before the contractor leaves the site, all existing trees which have been damaged
due to construction should be repaired/replaced at the expenses of the contractor.
E. Excavation Around Trees:
E.I. Where trenching is required in the vicinity of the tree, proceed as follows:
E.1.a. As the trench approaches the drip line of the tree, dig by hand until the roots
encountered are two inches or larger in diameter.
E.1.b. A similar trench is to be dug on the opposite of the tree and a tunnel augured
under the tree between the two trenches at a depth of 4 feet.
E.1.c. If auguring is impractical, continue digging by hand. Carefully dig under any
roots over 4 inches in diameter. Do not cut main lateral roots or tap roots.
E.2. Where excavating for new construction is required in soil containing the roots of the
tree, hand excavate to minimize damage to root system. Use narrow tine spading
forks and comb soil to expose roots are encountered, expose beyond excavation
limits as required to bend and relocate without breaking.
E.3. If root relocation is not practical, cut roots approximately 3 inches back from new
construction.
EA. Any digging or cutting that tears roots or disturbs soil beyond the grading limit is
unacceptable. All roots larger than one inch much be cut by a Certified Arborist.
E.5. Do not allow exposed roots to dry before permanent backfill is placed; provide
temporary support and protect roots against damage until permanently relocated and
covered with backfill.
F. Construction Pruning:
F.I. Hire an Arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture. Where roots
have been cut, Arborist shall prune the tree to compensate for the root loss and
prune any low limbs which may interfere with construction activities. Compensate in
approximate direct proportion to root loss. Do not use any sort of paint or dressing on
wounds or pruning cuts. Root pruned and construction pruned tree shall be fertilized
b the landscape contractor b broadcasting sulfur coated area 38-0-0 at the rate of
Y P Y 9
5 4 lbs. per 1,000 square feet over the root zones of the trees.

site become available, working within seasonal limitations for each kind of landscape
work required.
A.I. Plant or install all plant materials during normal planting seasons from 15 March to
15 November.
A.2. Correlate planting with specified maintenance periods to provide maintenance from
date of sustantial completion.
B. Coordination with Lawns: Plant trees and shrubs after final grades are established and
prior to planting of lawns, unless otherwise acceptable to Owner's Representative. If
planting of trees and shrubs occurs after lawn work, protect lawn areas and promptly
repair damage to lawns resulting from planting operations.
1.8 SPECIAL PROJECT WARRANTY
A. Warranty lawns through specified lawn maintenance period, until Final Project
Acceptance.
B. Warranty trees and shrubs for a period of one year after date of substantial completion,
against defects including death and unsatisfactory growth, except for defects resulting
from neglect by Owner, abuse or damage by others, or unusual phenomena or incidents
