IMPLEMENTATION ANO MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES ,.o GENERAL

All plants shall conform to BS 3936 and be in accordance with the National Plant Specification. Supplying nurseries shall be registered under the HTA Nursery Certification Scheme. All plants shall be packed and transported in accordance with the Code of Practice for Plant Handl'ng as produced byCPSE. Planting shall not be carried out when the ground is waterlogged, frostbound or during periocs of cold drying winds. All bare root stock shall be root dipped in an approved water-retaining polymer.

If the formation level is compacted it should be ripoed through before topsoiling. Topsoil depths to be 450mm for sh�ub beds and 150mm for grass areas.

2.0 ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS AND TREES

2.1 Ground Preparation Where necessary treat existing weeds with a glyphosate based herbicide and allow a su'table per'od as recommended by the manufacturer for this to take effect. A general purpose slew,,, release fertiliser at the rate of 75gm/m2 and Tree Planting and Mulching Compost at the rate of 2Dlitres/m2 are to be incorporated into the top 1 JOmm of topsoil during final cultivations. All extraneous matter such as plastic. wood, metal and stones greater than 50mm i 1 any dimension sha.l be removed from site.

Tree pits are to be excavated and the base oroken up a further 150mm with the sides well scarified to prevent smearing. All trees up to and including selectec standards are to be supported with single 75mm diameter staked. All rootball, container grown and trees over heavy standard size shall be double or triple staked. Any feature trees semi mature [18120cm girth or greater) in size to be secured with a below ground anchoring system [sJch as a deadman anchor). Stakes should be driven 500mm i1to undisturbed ground before planting the tree, taking care to avoid undergroJnd services and cables etc.

2.2 Planting Shrubs and hedges are to be set out as shown on the drawing and pit pla1ted into the prepared soil at the specified centres with minimal disturbance to the rootball and well firmed in.

Trees are to be placed into the pits and backfilled with topsoil incorporat ng slow release fertilizer and Tree Planting and Mulching Compost as specified. Firm trees in well and secure w ith proprietary rubber tree ties and spacers.

Water in all trees and shrubs at the end of each dfl:J of planting.

Spread ornamental pine bark mulch to a depth of 75mm across all new planting areas.ensuring groundcover plants are not buried

2.3 Maintenance The landscape contractor shall maintain all areas of new planting for a period of 12 months fo.lcrwing practical completion. All stock deemed to be dead, dying or diseased wit1in the defects period shall be replaced by the contractor at his own cost

The site is to be visited monthly throughout the year to undertake the following operatio1s Weed clearance: All planting areas are to be kept weed free by ha1d weeding or herbicide treatment. Litter clearance: All litter is to be removed from planting beds. Watering: Planti1g areas are to be broJght up to field capacity at each visit and each tree is to rece ive 20 gallons. Semi-mature tree planting to be watered weekly through June-Septemoer anc per visit thereafter

Checking trees: All tree ties and stakes are to be checked and adjusted if too loose, too tight or if chaffing is occurring. Any broken stakes are to be reolaced. Formative pruning: A1y damaged shoots/branches are to be pruned back to healthy wood. Plants are to be pruned in accorda1ce with good horticultural practice to maintain healthy well-shaped specimens ..

The extent of the planting area shall be set out using 38x38x'200mm timber stakes at each change in direction and at a maximum of 50m intervals.

Eiher: for notch planting All herbaceous material within the proposed planting area shall be sprayec out Js·ng an approved herbicide at least two weeks before p.anti1g and the ground shall be cu.tivated to a depth of 150mm. or : for pit p.anting A 900mm d'ameter circle shall be sprayed out at each p.anti1g station using an approved herbicide at least two weeks oefore planting.

Planting All bare rooted stock is to be root di oped in water retaining polymer. Prooosed planting is to be planted on an informal grid. To avoid straight lines each planting station can be moved by up to 300mm in any direction.

Either a for shelters or b for rabbit fence a. All stock to be protected from rabbit damage us·ng approved proprietory tree and shrub shelters, 900mm and 600mm high respectively, secured with stakes and ties as advised by the manufacturer b. All stock to be protected from rabbit damage by 900mm high rabbit fencing erected in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations

Maintenance Using approved herbicides a 900mm diameter circle centered on each planting station shall be kept weed free throughout the maintenance period.

Each Autumn after planting and until handover to the adopting authority, the contractor will prepare a list of all plants which a re dead, dying or diseased and will replace t1ese during the following planting season.

GRASS

Prep a ration The area to be seeded shal. be sprayed out with a glyphosate herbic'de a1d cultivated to a depth of 100mm removing all weeds, debris and stones over 25mm ciameter. The surface shall be raked to smooth flawing contours with a fine tilth, incorporating pre-seeding fertiliser at 70 g/m2. Fertliser applications apply to amenity grassland only

T,� Turfing ooerations s1all be in accordance with BS 4428.

Whole turves shall be laid around the perimeter of the area to be turfed. The central area shall be laid in rows with staggered joints, well outted together, worki1g from planks positioned on turves already laid. The turf shall be watered on co-npletion. Any unevenness shall be made good by lifting the turf and adjusting the levels. Should shrinkage occur, fine topsoil shall be brushed into the _·oints.

Seeding Grass seed shall be sown in April during calm weather and not when the ground is frost bound or waterlogged. Seed shall be sown in two equal sowings in transverse d'rections at 35 g/m2. After sowing the co11ractor shall l'ghtly rake the seed into intimate contact with the soil. All seed mixes to be specified in accorda1ce with those set out in the approved manageme11 plan.

Initial cut When newly seeded areas reach 50mm they should be cut back to a height of 30mm and t1en cut twice annually in early Spring and late Summer. All arisings shall be removed or spread evenly across grasslanc. Any bare patches shall be made good at this time.

TOPSOIL

Existing Topsoil Pre-planting herbicide application:-App ly by suitable spraying apparatus, an approved translocated systemic herbicide to the manufacturer's instructions and to 1 997 Control of Pesticic es Regulations and 2003 COSHH regulations on all beds, except those which are both weed free and are to receive agrotextile s1eet mulch. Spray immedi,itely if any weeds are present. If none are showing, but there may be a delay before planting, or the area is to be seeded, spray after one month following cult vation, to allow dormant seed to terminate. All sp'aying shall be carried out by skilled and qualified operatives, using protective clothing, in suitable weather [no wind) and any damage caused by spray drift, from incorrect usage or spillage, shall be rectified at the contractor's own cost. Repeat as necessary to ensure complete kill and rake off all dead material from site.

Carry out the following works to the existing topsoil on site to ensure it Conforms to BS 3882:2015, oeing free from rocks larger than 50m dia11eter, concrete, all roots, wire, brick, and have less than 20% clay. Allow for pre-application of herbicide as above. Fertilise with 1 OOg per meter square of Vi tax "N ut'"icote 180" slow release fertilizer, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. For bees less than 5 meters 1n width, fork over thoroughly or machine rotovate soil to a depth of 300mm, ensuring that the subgrade and topsoil are completely broken up and free draining, relieving any compaction. For beds greater than 5 metres in width, break up the subgrade and topsoil using a tractor mounted subsoiler or ripoe'" at 500mm centres to a depth of 500mm. except where there are services, or within 10 meters of tree stems or 3 meters of existing 1edges. Do not rip areas where roots greater than 10mm diameter are encounterec.

Imported Topsoil Arn; imported topsoil for mao{ing up g'"ound, shall conform to BS:3882:2015, and be free from rocks [over 50mm diameter), concrete, roots, wire and brick, and have less 20%clay.
