About this detail

The tree is set with its root ball crown two inches higher than the finish grade and a maximum of one inch of soil placed on top. Roots are spread evenly with damaged, encircling, or desiccated roots pruned prior to placement. The root ball rests on a compacted pedestal and is surrounded by backfill placed in three to four-inch lifts, lightly tamped, and saturated with mist between lifts without compacting the layers. The entire bed is covered with two inches of leaf mulch and features a continuous two-foot minimum soil plant saucer with four-inch high sides.
