The construction of hardworks shall be carried out in tandem with the main construction programme whereby care is taken to avoid unneccessary machinery traffic on completed areas. Any subsoil and/or topsoil stripping and storage shall be done prior to commencement of construction of roads, buildings, services, etc. No works in relation to grading and topsoiling shall be carried out in conditions where materials are wet. Any stockpiling of soil shall not exceed 1.50m in height to avoid compaction. The Landscape Contractor shall execute his works in conformity with a programme to be agreed with the Landscape Architect and shall include in his estimate for working within an agreed time limit. The Landscape Contractor shall allow for keeping individual areas adequately maintained until the whole has been completed. If exceptional weather conditions occur after planting, e.g. heavy frosts, measures shall be taken as approved by the Landscape Architect. Inspect tree ties in spring and autumn and adjust tree ties to prevent constriction of the stem. After two growing seasons the tree should make sufficient root growth to anchor the tree and the stake can be removed. Irish-grown species (not imported) Irish-grown species (not imported) PLANTING SCHEDULE - refer to Planting Details drawings Apply fertiliser a season after planting if the soil is poor or if a boost to growth is required. All excavation, back-filling and top-soiling works to be completed when appropriate during the works programme. Topsoiling shall be carried out in areas where the underground service works and hardworks are complete so that no undue disturbance to topsoiled areas is ensured. Planting is best done between October and April (the planting season), and all soft landscape works should be completed during the next planting season after the completion of the works (if the construction works finish outside the planting season). Landscape work shall take place in the appropriate season and only when the conditions are suitable, i.e. it is dull, moist and mild, without undue risk of frost or drying winds. There shall be no cultivation or planting when the soil is frozen or waterlogged. Bare-root and root-balled trees, transplants and shrubs are only available in autumn and winter. Planting of bare-root and root-balled stock shall take place in the following planting season from the completion of topsoil works; namely November - March. Container-grown stock and grass seeding shall be carried out in the appropriate weather conditions following completion of topsoil works. Container-grown plants can be planted at any time of the year, but are easier to care for if planted in autumn or winter, as they need less watering than ones planted in spring or summer. Excavate proposed planting areas to min. 525mm depth and break up the base of the planter to ensure free drainage. Back-fill with min. 450mm depth multi-purpose grade topsoil to BS:3882 as per Planting Details drawing and top with black 'Weed-Guard' by Terram landscape fabric 90gs/m2 and 75mm depth medium-grade bark mulch topping. Finish top of bark mulch 25mm below adjacent landscape finish. To be planted in species groups of approx 5. Screed existing vegetation and notch plant in a double staggered row, 450mm between rows, 450mm centres, notch planted with rabbit protection and staked. Provide protective fencing to young hedgerows, 1.20m ht sweet Clear-stemmed to min. 2.50m height or multi- stemmed/feathered as per schedule, triple long-staked. Provide 1.00m depth root barrier 'ReRoot 1000' by GreenBlue Urban within 2.00m of walls, services and/or paving. Provide irrigation/ventilation pipe to encircle rootball, Multi-stemmed with min. 3 stems/feathered as per schedule, double-staked as per Planting Details B. Provide irrigation/ventilation pipe to encircle rootball, with 'TreeGator' slow release watering bag. RECEIVED: 14/11/2025
