Verify that plants and vehicles loaded with plants can travel to planting locations with adequate overhead clearance. 3. Suspend planting operations during periods of excessive soil moisture until the moisture content reaches acceptable levels to attain the required results. 4. Uniformly moisten excessively dry soil that is not workable or which is dusty. B. If contamination by foreign or deleterious material or liquid is present in soil within a planting area,remove the soil and contamination as directed by Architect and replace with new planting soil. C. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. 3.2 PREPARATION A.

PLANTS 329300-8 Jade Avenue Business Park Section 329300 -Plants 3.4 EXCAVATION FOR TREES AND SHRUBS A. Planting Pits and Trenches: Excavate circular planting pits. 1. Excavate planting pits with sides sloping inward at a 45-degree angle. Excavations with vertical sides are unacceptable. Trim perimeter of bottom leaving center area of bottom raised slightly to support root ball and assist in drainage away from center. Do not further disturb base. Ensure that root ball will sit on undisturbed base soil to prevent settling. Scarify sides of planting pit smeared or smoothed during excavation. 2. Excavate approximately three times as wide as ball diameter for container-grown stock. 3. Excavate approximately 2 inches less than the depth of the root ball. Do not excavate deeper than depth of the root ball,measured from the root flare to the bottom of the root ball. 4. If area under the plant was initially dug too deep, add soil to raise it to the correct level and thoroughly tamp the added soil to prevent settling. 5. Maintain supervision of excavations during working hours. 6. Keep excavations covered or otherwise protected after working hours. B. Backfill Soil: Subsoil and topsoil removed from excavations may be used as backfill soil as long as it is altered to meet texture requirements for backfill soil. Clods are not acceptable. Otherwise,topsoil from off-site shall be utilized. C. Obstructions: Notify Landscape Architect if unexpected rock or obstructions detrimental to trees or shrubs are encountered in excavations. D. Drainage: Notify Landscape Architect if subsoil conditions evidence unexpected water seepage or retention in tree or shrub planting pits. E.

Inspection: At time of planting, verify that root flare is visible at top of root ball according to ANSI Z60.1. If root flare is not visible, remove soil in a level manner from the root ball to where the top-most root emerges from the trunk. After soil removal to expose the root flare, verify that root ball still meets size requirements. B. Roots: Remove stem girdling roots and kinked roots. Remove injured roots by cutting cleanly; do not break. C. Balled and Burlapped Stock: Set each plant plumb and in center of planting pit or trench with root flare 2 inches adjacent finish grades. 1. Backfill: Planting soil as specified for each balled and burlapped plant type. 2. After placing some backfill around root ball to stabilize plant, carefully cut and remove burlap, rope, and wire baskets from tops of root balls and from sides,but do not remove from under root balls. Remove pallets,if any,before setting. Do not use planting stock if root ball is cracked or broken before or during planting operation. PLANTS 329300-9 Jade Avenue Business Park Section 329300-Plants 3. Backfill around root ball in layers, tamping and rodding to settle soil and eliminate voids and air pockets. When planting pit is approximately one-half filled, water thoroughly before placing remainder of backfill. Repeat watering until no more water is absorbed. 4. Continue backfilling process. Water again after placing and tamping final layer of soil. 5. Place 1 inch of compost over the backfilled planting pit. D. Balled and Potted and Container-Grown Stock: Set each plant plumb and in center of planting pit or trench with root flare 2 inches above adjacent finish grades. 1. Backfill: Planting soil as specified for each plant type and planting situation. 2. Carefully remove root ball from container without damaging root ball or plant. 3. Backfill around root ball in layers,tamping and rodding to settle soil and eliminate voids and air pockets. When planting pit is approximately one-half filled, water thoroughly before placing remainder of backfill. Repeat watering until no more water is absorbed. 4. Continue backfilling process. Water again after placing and tamping final layer of soil. 5. Place 1 inch of compost over the backfilled planting pit. E. Slopes: When planting on slopes, set the plant so the root flare on the uphill side is flush with the surrounding soil on the slope; the edge of the root ball on the downhill side will be above the surrounding soil.Apply enough soil to cover the downhill side of the root ball. 3.6 MECHANIZED TREE-SPADE PLANTING A. Trees may be planted with an approved mechanized tree spade at the designated locations. Do not use tree spade to move trees larger than the maximum size allowed for a similar field- grown, balled-and-burlapped root-ball diameter according to ANSI Z60.1, or larger than manufacturer's maximum size recommendation for the tree spade being used, whichever is smaller. B. Use the same tree spade to excavate the planting hole as will be used to extract and transport the tree. C. When extracting the tree, center the trunk within the tree spade and move tree with a solid ball of earth. D. Cut exposed roots cleanly during transplanting operations. E. Eliminate vegetation growing from the top of root ball. Backfill with sharp sand filling the void between the root ball and the planting hole. Settle sand by water spray. 3.7 TREE, SHRUB,AND VINE PRUNING A. Prune, thin, and shape trees, shrubs, and vines only if needed. Generally, it should not be required with high quality plant material. B. Prune, thin, and shape trees, shrubs, and vines according to standard professional horticultural and arboricultural practices. Unless otherwise indicated by Landscape Architect, do not cut tree leaders;remove only injured,dying,or dead branches from trees and shrubs; and prune to retain natural character. PLANTS 329300- 10 Jade Avenue Business Park Section 329300-Plants 3.8 TREE STABILIZATION A. Trunk Stabilization by Upright Staking and Tying: Install trunk stabilization as follows unless otherwise indicated: 1. Upright Staking and Tying: Stake trees with two stakes for trees up to 12 feet high and 2- 1/2 inches or less in caliper;three stakes for trees less than 14 feet high and up to 4 inches in caliper. Space stakes equally around trees. Use a minimum of two stakes of length required to penetrate at least 18 inches below bottom of backfilled excavation and to extend one-third of trunk height above grade. Set vertical stakes and space to avoid penetrating root balls or root masses. 2. Support trees with bands of flexible ties at contact points with tree trunk. Allow enough slack to avoid rigid restraint of tree. B. Palm Bracing: Install bracing system at three or more places equally spaced around perimeter of trunk to secure each palm until established unless otherwise indicated. 1. Site-Fabricated Palm-Bracing Method: a. Place battens over padding and secure battens in place around trunk perimeter with at least two straps, tightened to prevent displacement. Ensure that straps do not contact trunk. b. Place diagonal braces and cut to length. Secure upper ends of diagonal braces with galvanized nails into battens or into nail-attached blocks on battens. Do not drive nails, screws, or other securing devices into palm trunk; do not penetrate palm trunk in any fashion. Secure lower ends of diagonal braces with stakes driven into ground to prevent outward slippage of braces. 3.9 GROUND COVER AND PLANT PLANTING A. Set out and space ground cover and plants other than trees, shrubs, and vines as indicated on Drawings in even rows with triangular spacing. B. Use planting soil for backfill. C. Dig holes large enough to allow spreading of roots. D. Work soil around roots to eliminate air pockets and leave a slight saucer indentation around plants to hold water. E.

B. Fill in, as necessary, soil subsidence that may occur because of settling or other processes. Replace mulch materials damaged or lost in areas of subsidence. C. Apply treatments as required to keep plant materials, planted areas, and soils free of pests and pathogens or disease.
