About this detail

The deciduous tree is installed in a plant pit with angled sides and a sloped bottom, set with the top of the root ball two inches above the finish grade to ensure the trunk flare remains visible. The top one-third of the wire basket and burlap are removed, and the sides and bottom of the pit are roughened. For clay soil conditions, an auger hole is drilled to a four-foot depth and backfilled with amended topsoil. Amended backfill surrounds the root ball with mulch tapered toward the trunk while held back three inches from the base. Two tree stakes are driven twelve inches into undisturbed soil, extending four feet deep, and secured to the tree using a continuous flexible strap tie fastened with roofing nails.
