GENERAL LANDSCAPE NOTES
1. Contractor is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits from the appropriate agency prior to commencing work.
Contractor shall contact Line Locators (811) a min. of 48 hours prior to any digging or trenching. If there are any
discrepancies with existing lines and landscaping, it is the contractor's responsibility to contact the landscape architect and
request a site visit to address the conflicts. Contractor shall comply and conform to any and all local and state codes for
work, schedules and any other project related requirements.
2. Contractor shall coordinate directly with the landscape architect for all landscape related issues, concerns, inspections and
approvals. Contractor shall provide the landscape architect with a written request for a site visit to address any related items.
3. Scope of work shall include any and all specified and unspecified but related incidental work to achieve the design indicated
on the landscape plans. All labor, materials, subcontractors, equipment, and related incidental items shall be supplied and
installed to achieve a complete project, unless directed otherwise by the general contractor or landscape architect.
4. Contractor to verify all sub grades are set below required amendments to insure the finished grade will match what is
intended by civil or drainage design. All sub grades and finished or final grades shall be graded to drain to the designed
drainage system with positive drainage away from all structures.
5.Grade Preparation:
a. Slopes used for grass plantings or turf shall be less than 3:1 or 33 percent. Otherwise plantings should not require
mechanized mowing equipment. Any invasive / toxic vegetation shall be removed and treated with herbacide (hand
applied to minimize treatment to specific plant) prior to any new planting. Native vegetation shall not be disturbed.
Soil Preparation.
a. Where soils are compacted and in informal grassy play areas, planting beds should be deep tilled to a depth of at least 12
inches. Soils shall be enhanced through the addition of the following materials: bark and forestry by-products, organic
matter such as composted yard waste, organics and other amendments as needed through a soils test. Soils that meet a
balanced PH between 6-8PH, do not required amending. Where Pit Planting, see planting detail for planting ring sizes
and depths. Scarify the edges of planting pits to encourage root expansion.
b. On project sites where topsoil is limited or nonexistent, a minimum depth of 6 (six) inches of sandy loam topsoil should be
tilled into the soil to a depth of 12 inches through all planting areas with compacted soils.
c. For all newly planted areas, three cubic yards of composted organic matter per 1,000 square feet of landscape area
should be added to a depth of four inches to the top of the soil and Tilled in.
d. Seeded areas shall be fine graded and rolled. New Soil depths in lawn areas shall be 4 Inches.
e. Native undisturbed areas with new trees shall be pit planted per tree planting details.
f. In order to utilize on site Top Soil, contractor shall submit a soil test showing the PH (acid) level of existing Top Soil on
site. A ziploc type bag of soil can be delivered to Spectra Lab in the Tacoma Tideflats - 2221 Ross Way, Tacoma, WA
98421 or a similar testing lab to measure PH level in soils.
6. Mulching of Newly Planted or Replanted Areas.
a. Mulches must be applied to the following depths: a minimum 3 (three) inches over bare soil, and two inches where plant
materials will cover.
b. Mulches must include organic materials, such as wood chips and shredded bark.
c. Nonporous materials, such as plastic sheeting, shall not be used in any area of the landscape because of down-slope
erosion and potential soil contamination from herbicide washing.
d. Mulch should be applied regularly to and maintained in all planting areas to assist soils in retaining moisture, reducing
weed growth, and minimizing erosion.
7. Contractor shall field layout all plant material and contact the landscape architect for a site visit to approve the layout. Any
field modifications shall be done by the landscape architect prior to planting.
8. Contractor shall immediately notify the landscape architect of any poor drainage condition in landscape areas. No standing
water shall be permitted in any landscape areas - either on the surface or below the topsoil. The landscape architect shall
coordinate the drainage solution with the general contractor and civil engineer. Once the concerns have been remedied planting
shall commence.
9. All groundcover to be planted in a triangular spacing formation, equal in all directions to the centers of the groundcovers in
distances indicated in the legend. Contractor shall verify all quantities of groundcovers by area calculations and spacing
requirements.
10. Landscaping is to be per plan. Plant substitutions due to availability or otherwise will be allowed only with landscape
architect, owner and agency approval. Any substitutions will be with material of similar size, growth characteristics, and quality.
11. All trees must be staked as necessary so as to maintain material in a healthy, vigorous growing condition.
12. Landscaping shall be installed in a professional workmanlike manner that is consistent and accepted throughout the
industry. All landscape and irrigation work shall be performed by experienced persons familiar with scope of project.
13. All landscape material and labor is to be guaranteed for a period of one full year from the time of completion.
14.Fertilizer Tablets: Apply 1 per gallon of plant size. 5 per 1.5" cal. tree and 6' tree.
Agriform 20-10-5 long lasting planting fertilizer tablet with minors. An excellent way to ensure tree crops have a good start.
Easy way to feed newly planted trees, shrubs and container plants. Contains the necessary nutrients to feed your plants for
up to 2 years. These tablets break down slowly through the action of soil bacteria which converts the tablet nitrogen to forms
that can be absorbed by plant roots. Tablets provide consistent nutrition to plants. Tablets contain micronutrients derived
from sulfates which are generally more plant available than those derived from oxides. Contains 500 tablets of 21-gram each.
15. When planting 'Balled and Burlapped' product, remove all burlap, string & wire from any B&B plant material, cut and remove
jute strings. Gently place in tact Rootbal into planting pit. If rootball breaks or is not solid - the plant is unacceptable and shall
be replaced.
16. Street trees shall be high branching with canopy that starts at least 6' above finish grade.
17. All plant I.D. tags are to remain on the plant material until final inspection has been completed. Once approved all plant I.D.
tags shall be removed and discarded appropriately.
18. Trees shall be cared for in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard practices for trees,
shrubs and other woody plant maintenance (ANSI 300) in order to allow them to reach there mature height and form.
19. Pruning of street trees shall be performed per the ANSI 300 standards so as to maintain the natural form of the tree,
encourage vigorous growth to a mature spread and height, and avoid weakening the tree to create a hazard. Street trees shall
not be topped pollarded, or otherwise pruned in a manner contrary to these goals, unless there is no practicable alternative that
would preserve essential utility services.
20. Plant material selected is drought tolerant or native species. The project proponent (property Owner) shall be
responsible for maintaining and watering all plant material throughout the first growing season and in times of
drought.
Temporary irrigation shall be provided via TREE GATOR BAGS attached to each tree. The bags shall be filled
when 14 empty - approximately 1 time per week and as needed during drought months. The bags will remain on
the trees for the establishment period of two summer seasons, after which, bags shall be removed by the owner.
Owner may elect to have the contractor hired to water and warranty the plants for the establishment period. For
planting warranties from contractor to be ensured, contractor shall be responsible for watering the plant material
and keeping the mulch ring weed free for the first growing season as part of the contract.
It is recommended to install the landscaping in the Spring (February - April) or Fall (October - December)when dormant but
before hard freeze.
TEMPORARY IRRIGATION
The project proponent shall ensure that a minimum of one (1) inch of water is supplied each week to the restoration area
between May 1 and October 15 for a least the first two years following initial planting. The calculated amount of required
water shall include both natural rainfall and temporary irrigation.
