Mulch is to be free of deleterious and extraneous matter such as soil, weeds and sections of
timber. Use organic mulches, which are free of stones. All organic mulches shall be
composted prior to delivery and spreading on-site.
13.1.2 APPLICATION

Spread mulches evenly to 100mm depth or as otherwise noted on the Drawings. Finish
25mm below surrounding finished levels or as detailed. Grade the finished surface evenly
between design surface levels.

finished levels. Spread and roll mulch so that after settling, or after rolling, it is smooth and
evenly graded between design surface levels sloped towards the base of plant stems in
plantation beds, and not closer to the stem. Mulch all trees located within grass areas with a
1500mm dia mulch ring to base of tree. Ensure trunk is clear of mulch.
