CITY OF SANTA ANA SPECIFICATIONS PROJECT NO.: XX-XXXX PROJECT TITLE 138 sprays and invigorants as are necessary to keep the plants free of insects and disease and in thriving condition. B. CLEAN UP AND WEEDING: All areas shall be kept free of debris, and all planted areas shall be weeded and cultivated at intervals of not more than ten (10) days. Street gutters shall be included within the debris/siltation removal program. C. ESTABLISHMENT: As it becomes evident that certain lawns and groundcovers have not established uniformly or properly, replant the areas immediately with the same plants and quantity as specified to achieve 100 percent coverage of healthy, actively growing lawn and groundcovers for approval at Final Review. D. PROTECTION: The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining adequate protection of the area. Damaged areas shall be repaired at the Contractor's expense. 5.03.06 TREE AND SHRUB CARE A. WATERING: 1. Maintain a large enough water basin around plants so that enough water can be applied to establish moisture through the major root zone. When hand -watering, use a water wand to break the water force. Use mulches to reduce evaporation and frequency of watering. 2. Irrigate planting areas as required to ensure active growth keeping areas moist but not saturated. Regulate irrigation as necessary to avoid erosion and gullying. B. PRUNING: 1. Trees a. Prune trees to select and develop permanent scaffold branches that are smaller in diameter than the trunk or branch to which they are attached which have vertical spacing of from 18" to 48" and radial orientation so as not to overlay one another; to eliminate diseased or damaged growth; to eliminate narrow V- shaped branch forks that lack strength; to reduce toppling and wind damage by thinning out crowns; to maintain growth within space limitations; to maintain a natural appearance; to balance crown with roots. b. Under no circumstances will stripping of lower branches ("raising up") of young trees be permitted. Lower branches shall be retained in a "tipped back" or pinched condition with as much foliage as possible to promote caliper trunk growth (tapered trunk). Lower branches can be cut flush with the trunk only after the tree is able to stand erect without staking or other support. Sucker growth shall be removed if deemed appropriate by the Engineer. c. Evergreen trees shall be thinned out and shaped when necessary to prevent wind and storm damage. The primary pruning of deciduous trees caused by 505 E Central Ave #B11/6/2024
