HOWEVER, SPREAD SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN 2/3-S
OF HEIGHT.
9. EXCAVATION:
A.IF UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION WORK OR
OBSTRUCTIONS ARE ENCOUNTERED IN EXCAVATION OF
PLANTING HOLES, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT WILL SELECT
ALTERNATE LOCATIONS.
B. PLANT EXCAVATION SIZE:
1. DIAMETER: TWICE DIAMETER OF ROOT BALL OR
CONTAINER MINIMUM.
2. DEPTH: EQUAL TO CONTAINER OR ROOTBALL DEPTH.
C.UNLESS EXCAVATED MATERIAL MEETS TOPSOIL
REQUIREMENTS AS SPECIFIED IN "TOPSOIL & GRADING
NOTES", REMOVE FROM LANDSCAPE AREAS AND DO NOT
USE FOR LANDSCAPING PURPOSES.
D.ROUGHEN SIDES AND BOTTOMS OF EXCAVATIONS.
E.WITH APPROVAL OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, SELECT FIVE
(5) TYPICAL PLANTING EXCAVATIONS THROUGHOUT SITE
FOR DRAINAGE TESTING.
1. THAT WATER DRAINS AWAY AT RATE OF 3 INCHES (75
MM) PER HOUR MINIMUM. INFORM LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT IN WRITING OF EXCAVATIONS WHERE
WATER DOES NOT DRAIN PROPERLY.
2. SELECT THREE (3) EXCAVATIONS APPROXIMATELY 5
FEET (1 500 MM)AWAY FROM EACH NON -DRAINING
EXCAVATION AND REPEAT TESTS. CONTINUE TESTING
PROCESS UNTIL NON -DRAINING AREAS HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED.
3. IN EXCAVATIONS LOCATED IN IDENTIFIED NON -DRAINING
AREAS, AUGER 6 INCH (150 MM) DIAMETER HOLE 4 FEET
(1 200 MM) DEEP IN LOW POINT OF EACH EXCAVATION
AND FILL WITH TAMPED PLANTING MIX.
4. DO NOT PLANT TREES OR SHRUBS IN HOLES THAT DO
NOT PROPERLY DRAIN.
10. PLANTING:
1. REMOVING BINDERS AND CONTAINERS:
A. REMOVE TOP ONE/ THIRD OF WIRE BASKET AND
BURLAP BINDERS.
B. REMOVE PLASTIC AND TWINE BINDERS FROM
AROUND ROOT BALLAND TREE TRUNK.
C. REMOVE PLASTIC CONTAINERS.
D. REMOVE WOOD BOXES FROM AROUND ROOT BALL.
REMOVE BOX BOTTOMS BEFORE POSITIONING PLANT
IN HOLE. AFTER PLANT IS PARTIALLY PLANTED,
REMOVE REMAINDER OF BOX WITHOUT INJURING
ROOT BALL.
2. PLANT IMMEDIATELY AFTER REMOVING BINDING
MATERIALAND CONTAINERS:
A. PLACE TREE AND SHRUB ROOT BALLS ON
UNDISTURBED SOIL.
B. AFTER WATERING AND SETTLING, TOP OF TREE ROOT
BALLS SHALL BE APPROXIMATELY TWO INCHES (50
MM) HIGHER THAN FINISHED GRADE AND TRUNK
FLARE IS VISIBLE.
C. SHRUB ROOT BALLS SHALL BE APPROXIMATELY ONE
INCH (25 MM) HIGHER THAN FINISHED GRADE.
3. PROPERLY CUT OFF BROKEN OR FRAYED ROOTS.
4. CENTER PLANT IN HOLE, REMOVE REMAINING WIRE
BASKETAND BURLAP TAKING CARE NOT DO DAMAGE
ROOT BALL:
A. REPLACE DAMAGED MATERIAL.
B. BACKFILL WITH SPECIFIED PLANTING MIX.
C. EXCEPT IN HEAVY CLAY SOILS, MAKE RING OF
MOUNDED SOIL AROUND HOLE PERIMETER TO FORM
WATERING BASIN.
5. ADD FERTILIZER IN PLANT PITAS PER'TOPSOILTESTING
REPORT'AND DURING PROPER SEASON.
6. FILL LANDSCAPE EXCAVATIONS WITH TAMPED PLANTING
MIX AND RECOMMENDED FERTILIZER:
A. COMPACT IN 6 INCH (150 MM) LIFTS.
B. SETTLE BY WATERING TO ENSURE TOP OF ROOT
BALL IS 2 INCHES (50 MM) HIGHER FOR TREES AND
ONE INCH (25 MM) HIGHER FOR SHRUBS THAN
SURROUNDING SOIL FOLLOWING COMPACTION AND
SETTLING.
7. DO NOT USE MUDDY SOIL FOR BACKFILLING.
8. MAKE ADJUSTMENTS IN POSITIONS OF PLANTS AS
DIRECTED BY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.
9. THOROUGHLY WATER TREES AND SHRUBS IMMEDIATELY
AFTER PLANTING.
10.AT BASE OF EACH TREE, LEAVE 36 INCH (900 MM)
DIAMETER CIRCLE FREE OF ANY GRASS.
