About this detail

A deciduous tree features a rootball set two inches above finish grade in a plant pit featuring angled sides and a sloped bottom. The top one-third of the wire basket and burlap is removed, and the sides and bottom of the pit are roughened. Amended backfill is placed around the rootball, and mulch is tapered toward the trunk while held back three inches from the base with the trunk flare kept visible. Two tree stakes are driven twelve inches into undisturbed soil, secured with roofing nails and a continuous flexible strap tree tie. A plastic root guard is used in lawn areas, and an auger hole four feet deep with amended topsoil is provided for clay soil conditions.
