Tree Planting on Grade Detail

About this detail

The tree is set plumb with the root flare exposed and aligned with or slightly above the finish grade depending on rootball stability. A two-inch thick mulch layer is applied over the planting soil while maintaining a six-inch clearance from the root flare. The box sides are removed and roots sheared above a compacted leveling base that sits on scarified subgrade, with the bottom of the box remaining in place. An underdrainage pipe is installed in a prepared subgrade trench with crushed stone backfill and connected to a cleanout beyond the planting area.
