Examine areas to receive plants, with Installer present, for compliance with requirements and conditions affecting installation and performance of the Work. 1. Verify that no foreign or deleterious material or liquid such as paint, paint washout, concrete slurry, concrete layers or chunks, cement, plaster, oils, PLANTS SECTION 32 93 00 BROODSTOCK COLLECTION FACILITY Page 4 gasoline, diesel fuel, paint thinner, turpentine, tar, roofing compound, or acid has been deposited in soil within a planting area. 2. Suspend planting operations during periods of excessive soil moisture until the moisture content reaches acceptable levels to attain the required results. 3. Uniformly moisten excessively dry soil that is not workable or which is dusty.. 4. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. 3.02 PREPARATION A. Protect structures, utilities, sidewalks, pavements, and other facilities and turf areas and existing plants from damage caused by planting operations. B. Install erosion-control measures to prevent erosion or displacement of soils and discharge of soil-bearing water runoff or airborne dust to adjacent properties and water bodies. C. Lay out plants at locations directed by COR. Stake locations of individual trees and shrubs and outline areas for multiple plantings. 3.03 PLANTING AREA ESTABLISHMENT A. General: Prepare planting area for soil placement and mix planting soil. B. Placing Planting Soil: Place manufactured planting soil over exposed subgrade. Mix planting soil into upper level of the subgrade to prevent solid interface of soil textures which will impede drainage. 3.04 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. Thoroughly scarify sides of planting pit to prevent roots from circling the planting pit. 2. Excavate approximately three times as wide as ball diameter for balled and burlapped, balled and potted, and container-grown stock. 3. 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. PLANTS SECTION 32 93 00 BROODSTOCK COLLECTION FACILITY Page 5 5. Maintain angles of repose of adjacent materials to ensure stability. Do not excavate subgrades of adjacent paving, structures, hardscapes, or other new or existing improvements. 3.05 TREE AND SHRUB PLANTING A. 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 exposed root flare 1 to 2 inches above adjacent finish grades. 1. Backfill: Planting soil. For trees, use planting soil for backfill. 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. 3. Backfill around root ball. When planting pit is approximately one-half filled, water thoroughly before placing remainder of backfill. Repeat watering until no more water is absorbed. Add more soil as necessary to maintain proper soil level. A soil berm may be built at the edge of the rootball to hold water where it will be most beneficial. 4. Place planting tablets equally distributed around each planting pit when pit is approximately one-half filled. Place tablets beside the root ball about 1 inch from root tips; do not place tablets in bottom of the hole. Install 3 planting tablets for each caliper inch of plant. 5. Continue backfilling process. Water again after placing and tamping final layer of soil. D. Balled and Potted and Container-Grown Stock: Set each plant plumb and in center of planting pit or trench with exposed root flare 1 to 2 inches above adjacent finish grades. 1. Backfill: Planting soil. For trees, use planting soil for backfill. 2. Carefully remove root ball from container without damaging root ball or plant. 3. Backfill around root ball. When planting pit is approximately one-half filled, water thoroughly before placing remainder of backfill. Repeat watering until no more water is absorbed. Add more soil as necessary to maintain proper soil level. A soil berm may be built at the edge of the rootball to hold water where it will be most beneficial. PLANTS SECTION 32 93 00 BROODSTOCK COLLECTION FACILITY Page 6 4. Place planting tablets equally distributed around each planting pit when pit is approximately one-half filled. Place tablets beside the root ball about 1 inch from root tips; do not place tablets in bottom of the hole. Install three (3) tablets per caliper inch of plant. 5. Continue backfilling process. Water again after placing and tamping final layer of soil. 3.06 JUTE NET INSTALLATION A. Jute net shall be installed upon completion of finished grading. B. Secure jute net using trench anchors and habitat boulders as indicated in the Contract Documents. 3.07 PLANT AREA MULCHING A. Mulch backfilled surfaces of planting areas and other areas indicated. 1. Organic Mulch in Planting Areas: Apply 3-inch average thickness of organic mulch over whole surface of planting area, and finish level with adjacent finish grades. Do not place mulch within 3 inches of trunks or stems. End of Section 31 35 30
