The tree is installed with the root flare positioned even with finish grade plus one inch. A two-inch layer of mulch is placed around the tree and held away from the trunk flare. A temporary soil saucer is constructed for watering and removed prior to surface finishing. The root ball rests on a prepared bed of planting soil above a subdrainage layer.
