4.2 PLANTING OPERATION AND PROCEDURES
1. PLANTING OPERATIONS
Perform only during periods within the planting season when weather and soil
conditions are suitable and in accordance with the local accepted practice approved
by the Landscape Architect.
2. PREPARATION OF PLANTING AREA
Before excavation is made, cover the surrounding turf, if existing, in a manner that
will satisfactorily protect all turfed areas that are to be tucked over, and upon which
the soil is to be temporarily stacked pending its removal for re-use barricade existing
trees, shrubbery, and beds are to be preserved in a manner that will effectively protect
them during planting operations.
3. OBSTRUCTION BELOW GROUND
Remove any rock or underground obstruction to the depth necessary (min. 2’ 0”

deep) to permit proper planting, according to the drawings and specifications.
However, other locations may be selected at the discretion of the Landscape
Architect.
4. EXCAVATION FOR PLANTING WORKS
All excavation shall be in accordance with local accepted practice, approved by the
Landscape Architect. Planting holes for tree shall be of a minimum 1m x 1m x 1m in
size or otherwise specified. For shrubs and other herbaceous plants, a planting hole
shall be of minimum 0.45m x 0.45m x 0.45m in size or otherwise specified. All
ground preparation for groundcovers shall be tilled a minimum of 0.30m deep.
5. SOIL MIX
Unless otherwise specified or indicated on the drawings the following mixture

(thoroughly mixed by volume) shall be used for backfill around plants and herein
after referred to as “Soil Mix”. The following is the recommended soil mixes for
specific uses: -
a
SOIL MIXES
USE MATERIAL (BY VOLUME)
Potting mix 2 parts washed river sand

(for trees and shrubs) 3 parts friable organic/top soil *
1 part well-rotted farmyard manure
1 kg C.I.R.P per cu. meter
Top dressing 4 parts of river sand

2 parts friable organic/top soil *
2 parts well rotted farmyard manure

* Necessary amendment such as applying GML (Ground Magnesium Limestone) shall be added
to acidic soils to achieve pH of 6.5.
** To be used as 50 % to 60 % mixture with original soil on site.
6. PLANT PLACEMENT
Set all plants at the proper level so that after settlement, normal or natural relationship
between the crown of the plant and the surrounding ground surface exists. Set the
plant vertically and firmly, work and ramp the soil mix carefully under and ground
the base of the ball to fill all voids. When practically back-filled and compacted, cut
the ball ties and remove the burlap from the top and side of the ball. Cut or adjust to
prevent the formation of air pockets.
7. BACKFILLING
Every care shall be taken during the backfilling and tamping to avoid injuring the root
and to eliminate all air pockets. Any roots found to be bruised or broken before or
during planting shall be pruned immediately with a clean cut.
b
8. WATER
Thoroughly water all plants immediately after planting. This shall mean full and
thorough saturation of all backfill in the pits and beds during the same day of
planting. Apply water only using open-ended hose at a very low pressure to avoid air
pockets and injury to the roots. When planted, watered and fully settled, the plants
shall be vertical.
9. FERTILIZER APPLICATION
After planting backfill, prior to final watering and before mulching, apply to dressing
to all plants at the rates as indicated in clause (e). Following steady establishment of
the plants, apply commercial fertilizers of complete formula of 10 : 20 : 20 or
otherwise specified at the following rates:
