<br />PLANTING NOTES:
<br />1. Contractor is to call DigAlert or equivalent local utility locator service and verify locations both above and below ground of existing
<br />utilities, pipes, drainlines and structures prior to any excavation or planting work. If underground construction, irrigation equipment, or
<br />utility lines are encountered, contractor shall notify the Owner's Representative and Landscape Architect so proper response can be
<br />determined. All expenses incurred for any subsequent required repair of damage to or replacement of existing underground lines
<br />shall be the Contractor's responsibility.
<br />2. Verify locations of pertinent site improvements installed under other sections. If any part of this plan cannot be followed due to site
<br />conditions, contact Landscape Architect for instructions prior to commencing work.
<br />3. All scaled dimensions are approximate. Before proceeding with any work, the Contractor shall verify all dimensions and shall
<br />immediately inform the Owner's Representative of any discrepancy between the drawings or specifications and actual conditions.
<br />4. All planting operations shall conform to City of Santa Ana's codes and guidelines, and any other applicable local, state, or federal
<br />codes and regulations. Coordinate with the Owner's Representative to obtain any required permits necessary to complete work.
<br />5. Provide matching forms and sizes for all replacement plant materials within each species and size.
<br />6. All materials are subject to the approval of the Landscape Architect and Owner's Representative at any time. Review plant locations
<br />for approval by the Owner's Representative before planting. On-site adjustments may be required.
<br />7. Remove from the site any plant material that turns brown or defoliates within five (5) days after planting. Replace immediately with
<br />approved, specified material.
<br />8. Actual planting shall be performed during those periods when weather and soil conditions are suitable in accordance with locally
<br />accepted horticultural practice as approved by the Owner's Representative. Contractor shall only install as many plants that can be
<br />planted and watered on that same day.
<br />9. Contractor shall remove all weeds, debris, rocks 1” diameter or larger, or other deleterious matter such as construction waste, from
<br />all new planting areas (unless specified otherwise by Owner's Representative). Weed eradication method shall be approved by
<br />Owner's Representative. The Contractor shall install and/or amend topsoil in all proposed bed areas to meet ASTM D5268
<br />standards. Landscaper shall verify depth and quality of topsoil prior to plant installation. A minimum of 4" of topsoil is required for 12"
<br />for plant beds. Topsoil sources shall include the reuse of surface soil stockpiled on site, clean of roots, plants, sod, stones, clay
<br />lumps, and other extraneous or foreign materials larger than 1". Supplement with imported topsoil from off-site sources when
<br />quantities are insufficient. Do not obtain supplemental topsoil from agricultural land, bogs, or marshes. inorganic amendments,
<br />organic amendments, and fertilizers shall be used to amend topsoil as needed for long-term plant health.
<br />10. Incorporate compost at a rate of least four cubic yards per 1,000 square feet to a depth of six inches into landscape area.
<br />I agree to comply with the requirements of the prescriptive compliance option to
<br />the MWELO (Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance).

<br />2. COMPLETION OF THE PLANT LAYOUT STAKING: Review of the plant layout.
<br />3. PLANT QUALITY: Review of plant quality at the time of delivery and prior to installation. Review tree quality prior
