SPECIFICATION NOTES

A. Sub-grade to planting & turf areas:
Test drainage of sub-grade to all planting and turf areas. If necessary
‘excavate down through impermeable material to a permeable sub-grade
depth, removing excavated material from site and replacing with a porous
material and suitable growing medium for nominated species. Settle
backfill to prevent subsidence.

B. Cultivation:
Cultivate all planting areas by ripping, to the specified depths prior to back
filing with soil and/or fill material. Set down sub-grade to accommodate
soil to specified depths. Do not disturb tree roots or services, if necessary,
cultivate around tree roots and services by hand. Remove unwanted
material such as stones exceeding 50mm, clay lumps, sticks, tree roots,
rubbish, rubble or any other deleterious material. During cultivation,
thoroughly mix in any materials required to be incorporated in the subsoil.
Spread gypsum over the entire area of all gardens and turf areas at a
minimum rate of 2 kg per square metre and thoroughly blend &
incorporate into the subgrade during cultivation. Refer details for cultivation
depths,

Organic Matter: >6% but less than 8% by mass.
Texture: Sandy loam, fine Sandy loam or Loam

Phosphorus: <20mg/kg

Soil shall be free from material such as stones, clay lumps, sticks, tree
roots, rubbish, rubble or any other deleterious material, The soil shall be
certified weed free (including nut grass). Refer details for soil depths.

D. ‘Fertiliser & Soil Additives:

Application and installation to manufacturer's recommendations. Apply
approved slow release fertilizer, 8-9 months formulation 16-4,4-8.3Npk to
all plants at time of planting. Mix the required amount into the soil blend
evenly around each individual plant and tree rootballl prior to backfilling. Do
not place fertiliser in contact with rootballs. Apply "Terracottem” or
approved equivalent to each individual plant and tree.

 

E. Mulch:

Forest blend. Mulch shall finish flush with adjacent finished surface levels,
allow for settling of soil and mulch. Place mulch clear of plant and tree
stems. Mulch shall be free from material such as stones, clay lumps,
sticks, tree roots, rubbish, rubble or any other deleterious material. Refer
details for mulch depths.

F. Staking:

Use new, unpainted 1800mm x 50mmsgq straight hardwood embedded
min. 600mm into the ground. Position two stakes equal distance from the
plant centre and in line with the prevailing wind directions or tri-stake as
required. Do not stake through rootball. Secure the tree with suitable
lengths of non-abrasive material looped in figure-8 pattern around the
trunk as necessary to stabilise the tree.

G. Plant Stock
All plants to be true to scheduled nomenclature, well formed, hardened off

Protect and do not disturb existing in-ground services. Locate all services before
commencing any excavation and cultivation. excavate / cultivate areas within
500mm of services by hand.

Photographic evidence of all species is required 4 weeks after contract has been
let. Photographs must contain at least two plants / trees per species including a
measuring staff or other measuring devices illustrating height and spread of
individual species. All substitutions must be approved by landscape architect
prior to order.

H. _ Fill associated with the landscape design:

Compaction of any fill associated with the landscape design to be designed /
specified by engineer or specialist consultant.

1 Edging:
Timber : Treated pine edging, 16x100mm. Stakes - treated pine.
50x25x300mm,

Recycled plastic : 75mm deep, black, with 25x280mm recycled plastic stakes

Space stakes evenly & sufficiently to prevent warping or bowing. Edges are to
be free of burs, splinters and sharp corners.

Green couch,

General

Deliver turf to site within 24hrs of cutting and prevent from drying out. Lay within
36hrs of cutting. Minimum Thickness 25mm of soil attached

Supply

Obtain turf from a specialist grower of cultivated turf. Provide turf of even
thickness, free from weeds and other foreign matter. All turf with nut grass is to
be rejected and removed from site.

Installation

Lay turf parallel to slope contours with staggered, close butt joints so that the
finished turf surface is flush with adjacent finished surfaces. Lightly roll turf to
ensure roots are in direct contact with soil

Watering

Irrigate thoroughly with a fine spray. Continue as necessary to maintain moisture
root depth and maintain the grass in a healthy, green condition

Rejection
Replace failed turf and relay with new turf

K. Inorganic Mulch - Shell Gi

steppers and at other locations as shown on the surface finishes plan.
Weed mat shall be installed under all areas of shell grit and concrete
steppers to manufacturers recommendations.

pests, and disease. all pots shall be free of weeds

Hardening off - all stock shall be grown in open areas which are exposed
to the sun and wind to promote vigorous plant growth and to harden plants
off

For a minimum of eight (8) weeks prior to delivery, all plants shall be grown
in open areas receiving a minimum time of 75% full sun. Watering and
fertiising of plants shall be gradually reduced for a similar time period
leading up to delivery to aid in hardening of plants.

if plants are being grown / propagated outside a 100km radius of the
project site, move all plant stock to a nursery within this radius so that the
plants may become acclimatised for a period of not less than (8) weeks
prior to date of delivery. The plants must all be hardened off in accordance
with the above clause

Do not plant in unsuitable weather conditions such as extreme heat, cold,
