GROWTH. IT SHALL CONTAIN THREE (3) TO FIVE (5) PERCENT DECOMPOSED ORGANIC MATTER, HAVE A PH BETWEEN 5.5 AND
8.0, AND SOLUBLE SALTS LESS THAN 3.0 MMHOS/CM. SUBMIT SOIL SAMPLE AND PH TESTING RESULTS FOR APPROVAL.
b. SAND SHALL BE COARSE, CLEAN, WELL-DRAINING, NATIVE SAND.
3. TREES SHALL BE PLANTED IN THE EXISTING NATIVE SOIL ON SITE, UNLESS DETERMINED TO BE UNSUITABLE - AT WHICH
POINT THE CONTRACTOR SHALL CONTACT THE PROJECT LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT TO DISCUSS ALTERNATE
RECOMMENDATION PRIOR TO PLANTING.
F. WATER
1. WATER NECESSARY FOR PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE SHALL BE OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY TO SUSTAIN ADEQUATE
PLANT GROWTH AND SHALL NOT CONTAIN HARMFUL, NATURAL OR MAN-MADE ELEMENTS DETRIMENTAL TO PLANTS. WATER
MEETING THE ABOVE STANDARD SHALL BE OBTAINED ON THE SITE FROM THE OWNER, IF AVAILABLE, AND THE

NATURALLY-DERIVED.
* FERTILIZER RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY - REFER TO PROPERTY'S JURISDICTIONAL AUTHORITY.
H. MULCH
1. MULCH MATERIAL SHALL BE MOISTENED AT THE TIME OF APPLICATION TO PREVENT WIND DISPLACEMENT, AND APPLIED AT
A DEPTH OF THREE (3) INCHES CLEAR MULCH FROM EACH PLANT'S CROWN (BASE) OR AS SHOWN IN PLANTING DETAILS.
SUBMIT SAMPLES TO PROJECT LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT FOR APPROVAL. MULCH SHALL BE PROVIDED OVER THE ENTIRE
AREA OF EACH SHRUB BED, GROUND COVER, VINE BED, AND TREE RING (6' MINIMUM) PLANTED UNDER THIS CONTRACT, AS
WELL AS FOR ANY EXISTING LANDSCAPE AREAS AS SHOWN ON PLANS.
I. DIGGING AND HANDLING
1. ALL TREES SPECIFIED SHALL BE BALLED AND BURLAPPED (B&B) UNLESS OTHERWISE APPROVED BY PROJECT LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT.
2. PROTECT ROOTS OR ROOT BALLS OF PLANTS AT ALL TIMES FROM SUN, DRYING WINDS, WATER AND FREEZING, AS
NECESSARY UNTIL PLANTING. PLANT MATERIALS SHALL BE ADEQUATELY PACKED TO PREVENT DAMAGE DURING TRANSIT.
TREES TRANSPORTED MORE THAN TEN (10) MILES OR WHICH ARE NOT PLANTED WITHIN THREE (3) DAYS OF DELIVERY TO

TRANSPIRATIONAL WATER LOSS.
3. B&B, AND FIELD GROWN (FG) PLANTS SHALL BE DUG WITH FIRM, NATURAL BALLS OF SOIL OF SUFFICIENT SIZE TO
ENCOMPASS THE FIBROUS AND FEEDING ROOTS OF THE PLANTS. NO PLANTS MOVED WITH A ROOT BALL SHALL BE PLANTED
IF THE BALL IS CRACKED OR BROKEN. PLANTS SHALL NOT BE HANDLED BY STEMS.
J. CONTAINER GROWN STOCK
1. ALL CONTAINER GROWN MATERIAL SHALL BE HEALTHY, VIGOROUS, WELL-ROOTED PLANTS ESTABLISHED IN THE

2. AN ESTABLISHED CONTAINER GROWN PLANT SHALL BE TRANSPLANTED INTO A CONTAINER AND GROWN IN THAT
CONTAINER SUFFICIENTLY LONG ENOUGH FOR THE NEW FIBROUS ROOTS TO HAVE DEVELOPED SO THAT THE ROOT MASS
WILL RETAIN ITS SHAPE AND HOLD TOGETHER WHEN REMOVED FROM THE CONTAINER. CONTAINER GROWN STOCK SHALL
NOT BE HANDLED BY THEIR STEMS.
