Add 1 1/2 inches of specified compost over entireplanting area and mix thoroughly into upper 6 inches of topsoil. Place approximately 1/2 of total amountof planting soil required. Work into top of loosened subgrade to create a transition layer, then placeremainder of the planting soil. C. Apply Pre-Emergent per manufacturer's recommendation.3.5 PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBSA. Set balled and burlapped (B&B) stock on layer of compacted planting soil mixture, plumb and in centerof pit or trench with top of ball at same elevation as adjacent finished landscape grades. Removeburlap from sides of balls; retain on bottoms. When set, place additional backfill around base andsides of ball, and work each layer to settle backfill and eliminate voids and air pockets. Place fertilizertablets in excavated area per manufacture's written instructions. When excavation is approximately2/3 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 anapproved can cutter and remove can; remove bottoms of wooden boxes after partial backfilling so asnot 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 topof 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 anadequate film over trunks, branches, stems, twigs and foliage.F. Prune, thin out, and shape trees and shrubs in accordance with standard horticultural practice. Prunetrees to retain required height and spread. Unless otherwise directed by Architect, do not cut treeleaders, and remove only injured or dead branches from flowering trees, if any. Prune shrubs to retainnatural 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 necessaryfor elimination of weeds.3.6SODDING NEW LAWNSA.General: Install lawn sod in all areas designated on the drawings.B.Soil Preparation1.Any sod lawn areas that may have become compacted prior to sodding must be scarified to adepth 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 Placement1.Sod will be brought onto lawn areas by wheeled means with proper protection of sod beds. Sodlayers shall be experienced, or if inexperienced, shall be constantly supervised by an experiencedforeman. The Contractor shall insure that the base immediately ahead of sod layer is moist. Sodshall be laid tight with not gaps. Allowance shall be made for shrinkage. Lay sod with long edgesperpendicular 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 subgradeor sod. Tamp or roll lightly to ensure contact with subgrade. Work sifted soil into minor cracksbetween 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 contactbetween soil and sod. Final rolling must provide a uniform surface. After final rolling, the sod lawnshall be mowed and watered. Approval of sod lawns shall be based on uniform, healthy andvigorous 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 Establishment1.The Contractor shall be responsible for first mowing, subsequent mowings and fertilizing of sodlawn 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 theManufacturer's recommended application rate. Verify all methods of application. Contractor shallnotify the Architect in writing that the fertilizer applications have occurred and on what dates.3.7 MAINTENANCEA.Begin landscape maintenance immediately after planting. Maintenance shall continue until ProjectFinal Acceptance.B.Maintain trees, shrubs, and other plants by pruning, cultivating, and weeding as required for healthygrowth. Restore planting saucers. Tighten and repair stake and guy supports and reset trees andshrubs 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 astolling, regrading and replanting as required to establish a smooth, acceptable lawn, free of eroded orbare areas.D.Maintain lawns for no less than period stated above, or longer as required to establish acceptablelawn.3.8 CLEANUP AND PROTECTIONA.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 othercontractors and trades, and trespassers. Maintain protection during installation and maintenanceperiods. Treat, repair, or replace damaged landscape work as directed.3.9 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCEA.When landscape work is completed, including maintenance, Architect will, upon request, make aninspection to determine acceptability.B.When inspected landscape work does not comply with requirements, replace rejected work andcontinue specified maintenance until reinspected by Architect and found to be acceptable. Removerejected plants and materials promptly from project site.END OF SECTION
