herbicides, un-doc fertlizer, disease treatments.

2.4 FERTILIZER

Deliver fertilizer to Sitein sealed bags, branded with the fertilizer type & Manufacturer name.

2.5 TURFING

Type - AUSSIE BLUE

Turf to be free from weeds & other foreign matters. Turf to be comprised of consistently thick grass & root (fully soiled) parts. Grass
part to be 20mm thick, root part fo be 25mm thick.

Evenly mix fertilizer into the topsoil before placing the turf.

Lay turf within 24 hours of cutting. Preven: turf from drying out between cutting and laying.

Lay turf along land cortours with staggered, butt joints. Immediately after laying, roll turf with a 90 kg/m roller. Fill joints &
depressions with topsoil. On slopes too stzep for rolling, evenly tamp the turf.

Immediately after rolling, irrigate with a fine spray so that the soil is moist to a depth of 100mm.

Lay turf flush with adjacent surfaces. Grade falls evenly. Turf surface tc be smooth & consistent.

When turf isestablished, mow ai 25mm above soil level, remove cuttings & top dress max 10mm deep with topsoil to fill joints and
correct surface unevenness.

21 days afte’ turfing, broadcast evenly a minimum 0’ 10 g/m2 of sulphat2 of ammonia fertiliser over the whole of the area of turfing.
When the turf is established, mow at regular intervals to maintain an average height of 30mm.

Manually extract weeds that emerge in the turfed areas. Whete necessary spray with a selective broad leaf weed herbicide.
Toerance: Max 15mm under a 3000mm straight edge any direction.

2.6 PLANTING

Plant Quality

Plents to have well-balanced branching folage typical of their species for the season.

Plants to be ‘tee from pests, diseases, physiological disorder & nutritional deficiency, and be substantially free from evidence of any
previous disorder.

Plents shall have been grown in their final containers in enviroamental conditions similar to that expected for where they will be
planted, for min 42 days before Site delivery.

Plents to be slanted in the sun are to be pieviously ‘sun grown or ‘sun hardened’, for min 42 days before Site delivery.

Site deliver rlants in pathogen free, weed free medium.

Plant roots to be undamaged, urrestricted well-progortioned in relation to the size of the plant & suitable for transplantation.
Legibly labeleach plart by botarical name, commor name & plant characteristics, on a durable weather-proof tag.

Tree Stock: Not to have co-dominant stems. To have crown foliage symmetry with no side exceeding 20% of the lesser foliage
side. North aspect of trees in the Nursery to be identified & trees planted with this side facing north.

Plant Containers

Provide plan's in new or sterilised recyclec polypropylene containers or polythene bags of potting media volumes, sized as follows,
UDO:

apart & paralel to the ikely pedestrian trafic side, trple stakes to be positioned evenly apart with 2 stakes positioned behind the
plant (ie opposite the lkely pedestrian traffic side).

Position stakes outside of the topsoil zone part of the planting role.

Tie plant to each stake at the top 10% of the exposed to view stake. Tie also as required to straighten the stem or trunk.
Remove stakes & ties 10 longer required to support :he plant, at the end of the Defects Liability Period.

Stakes to conply with the following table, UDO:

1800-2400 3 Steel star picket 600/1800 Steel rope

 

Plastic ties: Proprietary ties.
Steel rope ties: 3mm dia galv steel wire rope, cut ends steel clamped, turnbuckle tension adjustment, plastic guards against trunk,
the loop dia around trunk to be 3 times the dia of the trunk at that tie point.
2.7. MAINTENANCE
Maintain construction Work. After Practicel Completion, maintain the Work for 12 WEEKS to the doc standard. Maintenance
includes:
- Watering, fertilzing, pes! & disease control.
- Mow ng, weeding, aerati1g, removal of cuttings
- Prunng (to AS 4373), the intention of pruning being to maintain healthy foliage or remove damaged
growth.
- Maintaining stakes & ties.
