Shrub Planting on Slope

Materials

About this detail

The planting hole is excavated to twice the width of the rootball in undisturbed native soil or eighty-five percent compacted soil, with the sides scarified to prevent glazing. Plant tabs are placed six inches below the finish grade per specifications. The pit is backfilled with native soil and amendments, then watered and tamped to remove air pockets. The finish grade is covered with mulch per specifications, and the grade is raised at the edge of the plant pit on the lower side of the slope to retain water. Boulders are included if specified in plans to retain the grade on the low side of the shrub.
