required.
1. Plant or install all plant materials during normal planting seasons from 15 March to
15 November.
2. Correlate planting with specified maintenance periods to provide maintenance from
date of substantial completion.
B. Coordination with Lawns: Plant trees and shrubs after final grades are established and prior
to planting of lawns, unless otherwise acceptable to Architect. If planting of trees and shrubs

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 beyond
Landscape Installer's control.
C. Remove and replace trees, shrubs, or other plants dead or in unhealthy condition during
warranty period. Make replacements during growth season following end of warranty period.
Replace trees and shrubs which are in doubtful condition at end of warranty period; unless,
in opinion of Architect, it is advisable to extend warranty period for a full growing season.
PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1 TOPSOIL
A. If deemed usable, native topsoil shall be stockpiled for re-use in landscape work. Topsoil
shall be fertile, friable, natural loam, surface soil, reasonable free of subsoil, clay lumps,
brush, weeds, roots, stumps, stones larger than 1 inch in any dimension, and other
extraneous or toxic matter harmful to plant growth.
1. Contractor shall send a minimum of three (3) representative topsoil samples for
testing. See testing requirements below. Contractor is responsible for whatever soil
additives are recommended by the tests. Submit to Architect for approval. Compost
will be added to other additives and added regardless of test results.
3.4 PREPARATION OF PLANTING BEDS
A. Loosen subgrade of planting areas to a minimum depth of 6 inches using a culti-mulcher or
similar equipment. Remove stones measuring over 1 1/2 inches in any dimension. Remove
stocks, stones, rubbish, and other extraneous matter.
B. Spread planting soil mixture to minimum 12 inch depth required to meet lines, grades, and
elevations shown, after light rolling and natural settlement. Add 1 1/2 inches of specified
compost over entire planting area and mix thoroughly into upper 6 inches of topsoil. Place
approximately 1/2 of total amount of planting soil required. Work into top of loosened
subgrade to create a transition layer, then place remainder of the planting soil.
C. Apply Pre-Emergent per manufacturer's recommendation.
3.5 PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS
A. Set balled and burlapped (B&B) stock on layer of compacted planting soil mixture, plumb and
in center of pit or trench with top of ball at same elevation as adjacent finished landscape
grades. Remove burlap from sides of balls; retain on bottoms. When set, place additional
backfill around base and sides of ball, and work each layer to settle backfill and eliminate
voids and air pockets. Place fertilizer tablets in excavated area per manufacture's written
instructions. When excavation is approximately 2/3 full, water roughly before placing
remainder of backfill. Repeat watering until no more is absorbed. Water again after placing
final layer of backfill. Remove all ties from around base of trunk.
B. Set container grown stock, as specified, for balled burlapped stock, except cut cans on 2
sides with an approved can cutter and remove can; remove bottoms of wooden boxes after
partial backfilling so as not to damage root balls.
C. Dish top of backfill to allow for mulching.
D. Mulch pits, and planted areas. Provide not less than following thickness of mulch, and work
into top of backfill and finish level with adjacent finish grades.
1. Provide 3 inches thickness of mulch.
E. If season and weather conditions dictate, apply anti-desiccant, using power spray, to provide
an adequate film over trunks, branches, stems, twigs and foliage.
F. Prune, thin out, and shape trees and shrubs in accordance with standard horticultural
practice. Prune trees to retain required height and spread. Unless otherwise directed by
Architect, do not cut tree leaders, and remove only injured or dead branches from flowering
trees, if any. Prune shrubs to retain natural character.
G. Remove and replace excessively pruned or misformed stock resulting from improper pruning.
H. Guy and stake trees immediately after planting, as indicated.
I. Apply approved herbicide to all shrub bed areas at manufacture specified rate. Re-apply as
necessary for elimination of weeds.
3.6 SODDING NEW LAWNS
A. General: Install lawn sod in all areas designated on the drawings.
B. Soil Preparation
1. Any sod lawn areas that may have become compacted prior to sodding must be scarified
to a depth of eight (8) inches by approved means, then finish graded as hereinbefore
described.
C. Lay sod within 24 hours from time of stripping. Do not plant dormant sod or if ground is
frozen.
D. Sod Placement
1. Sod will be brought onto lawn areas by wheeled means with proper protection of sod
beds. Sod layers shall be experienced, or if inexperienced, shall be constantly
supervised by an experienced foreman. The Contractor shall insure that the base
immediately ahead of sod layer is moist. Sod shall be laid tight with not gaps. Allowance
shall be made for shrinkage. Lay sod with long edges perpendicular to primary slope.
2. Lay to form a solid mass with tightly fitted joints. Butt ends and sides of strips; do not
overlap. Stagger strips to offset joints in adjacent courses. Work on boards to avoid
damage to subgrade or sod. Tamp or roll lightly to ensure contact with subgrade. Work
sifted soil into minor cracks between pieces; remove excess to avoid smothering of
adjacent grass.
3. Sod shall be rolled with a two hundred (200) pound roller after installation to insure
proper contact between soil and sod. Final rolling must provide a uniform surface. After
final rolling, the sod lawn shall be mowed and watered. Approval of sod lawns shall be
based on uniform, healthy and vigorous growth with no dry or dead spots.
4. Add fertilizer "B" at the manufacturer's recommended application rate.
E. Water sod thoroughly with a fine spray immediately after planting.
F. Sodded Lawn Establishment
1. The Contractor shall be responsible for first mowing, subsequent mowings and fertilizing
of sod lawn areas until Final Acceptance of the project.
2. Mowing shall be done by an approved "reel" type mower. Mower blades shall be set at
two (2) inches high for all mowings.
3. Subsequent fertilizing shall occur three to four weeks after installation. Apply fertilizer as
per the Manufacturer's recommended application rate. Verify all methods of application.
Contractor shall notify the Architect in writing that the fertilizer applications have occurred
and on what dates.
3.7 MAINTENANCE
A. Begin landscape maintenance immediately after planting. Maintenance shall continue until
Project Final Acceptance.
B. Maintain trees, shrubs, and other plants by pruning, cultivating, and weeding as required for
healthy growth. Restore planting saucers. Tighten and repair stake and guy supports and
reset trees and shrubs to proper grades or vertical position as required. Restore or replace
damaged wrappings. Spray as required to keep trees and shrubs free of insects and disease.
C. Maintain lawns by watering, fertilizing, weeding, mowing, trimming, and other operations
such as tolling, regrading and replanting as required to establish a smooth, acceptable lawn,
free of eroded or bare areas.
D. Maintain lawns for no less than period stated above, or longer as required to establish
acceptable lawn.
3.8 CLEANUP AND PROTECTION
A. During landscape work, keep pavements clean and work area in an orderly condition.
B. Protect landscape work and materials from damage due to landscape operations, operations
by other contractors and trades, and trespassers. Maintain protection during installation and
maintenance periods. Treat, repair, or replace damaged landscape work as directed.
3.9 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
A. When landscape work is completed, including maintenance, Architect will, upon request,
make an inspection to determine acceptability.
B. When inspected landscape work does not comply with requirements, replace rejected work
and continue specified maintenance until reinspected by Architect and found to be acceptable.
Remove rejected plants and materials promptly from project site.
