A. The planting soil shall be placed in planting areas and compacted using water
saturation the full mix depth. The area shall be leveled to within +/-50mm and
then again thoroughly irrigated with water to eliminate air pockets and settle soil.
The soil shall be evenly moistened to a depth of 300mm. after the irrigation system
has been installed, compact and settle all disturbed areas and fine grade to a
smooth continuous grade.
There shall be no uneven surfaces greater than +/- 15mm. agricultural sweet soil shall
be installed to achieve tolerances specified for finished level of soil, and when
reasonably dry and workable, graded to smooth, flowing contours with all minor
hollows and ridges removed.
Planting shall be spread at levels to accommodate mulch where specified. Final grades
should not deviate more than +/- 25mm from the finish grade specified.
B. After a period of ten days, all germinating weeds shall be removed from the area
and the soil shall be re-leveled to form a smooth continuous grade.
Excavation
Palms/Trees excavation pits shall be in accordance with approved shop drawing details,

Only approved and acceptable quality Palms/Trees shall be planted and rejects shall be
removed from site, upon the request of the inspector. All planted Palms shall be bur
lapped and sprayed by fungicides and insecticides prior to its delivery to site.
Backfilling
Palm pits shall be backfilled with approved sweet soil and planting medium for trees
procured from the Abu Dhabi Municipality borrow pit over the gravel drainage layer
wrapped by geotextile fabric as soil separator following with root control barrier prior to
planting. At the time of planting, the pit shall be excavated in preparation for the plant
root ball at which time the soil shall be amended with the recommended soil
additives/fertilizers (see

(above). Planting medium will be placed in the areas every 300mm and compacted using
water saturation. The area shall be leveled to within +/- 50mm and then again thoroughly
irrigated with water to eliminate air pockets and settle soil. The Tree shall then be lifted
and placed in pit where the Bloom Landscape planting crew shall add water during
backfilling to aid in soil compaction and rid pit of air pockets in order to achieve maximum
settlement and stability for the Trees.
The Palm/Tree shall be slung using the ‘chocking method’ and lifted mechanically by
either a Telescopic handler or crane. The slinger/signaler shall guide the machine operator
until Tree is in approved pit location.
Adventitious roots on Phoenix dactylifera are to be buried below soil level, or else the
tree would be rejected. Only healthy uniform trunk diameter would be acceptable as basic
selection criteria for Palms/Trees.
Drainage Layer
Gravel drainage layer enclosed with geotextile fabric will be installed in required areas as
per landscape specification and approved drawings.
Root Barrier
1. Root control barriers shall be used to protect adjacent structures and paving areas from
damage and installed to areas indicated on the drawings and as directed by the Engineer.
2. The root barrier shall be purpose made as a root barrier with vertical ribs, be of physical
integrity and impervious to tree roots. The barriers shall be not less than 450mm high
when installed. Any joints shall be sealed to prevent any root penetration in accordance
with the manufacturers ‘specifications.
a. When planting areas are ready to receive plants, stakes shall be driven in
tree and large shrub locations. Shrub and groundcover plant rows shall be
marked and coordinate with tree locations.
b. Post planting of Tree shall be supported with two wooden tree stakes and
tree ties as shown in the approved shop drawing details. Stakes shall be

the length above to be equal to the stem height of the tree, unless
otherwise approved by the consultant. All stakes to be stained dark brown.
c. Stakes for all ornamental trees (such Trees and large shrubs) will be
inspected monthly to prevent girdling of trunks or branches, and to
prevent rubbing that causes bark wounds. Any growth or lean from natural
causes should re straighten. Stakes loosened or broken shall be repaired
or replaced using pressure treated 50mm square stakes, of height specified
to reach first branch with minimum one-third below ground. Similar to tree
stakes ties also be inspected at monthly intervals. Loosen ties when
necessary, to avoid constricting the growth of limbs and the trunk. Where
necessary stakes and supports will be removed only once the plants are
anchored strongly by its own root system until the tree is capable of
standing vertical and able to resist normal summer high winds and winter
storms. At completion of the maintenance contract, the Contractor shall
obtain approval from the Engineer to remove all stakes and ties, excepting
those trees requiring continued support.
d. Tree ties shall be adjustable rubber tree (black color) ties with a minimum
width of 35mm. At least two pairs of ties per tree shall be used but other
ties shall be provided if necessary to keep the stem straight. Ties shall be
fixed to stakes as per manufacturer’s recommendations, all to the approval
of the Consultant/Client.
a. Sub soil shall be removed and not mixed with planting medium.
b. Tree containers to be irrigated one day prior to planting
c. Trees to be removed carefully from their containers and care shall be taken
not to damage the roots & foliage.

should be twice daily for one week (or until 100% coverage of the grass planted by
stools is achieved. Palms, trees, shrubs and ground covers should be watered
thoroughly immediately after planting. First watering must be with sufficient
amount to saturate the growing medium.
b. Periodic fertilization shall be ideally carried out through the irrigation system and
not manually, thus discharging a fixed/known rate of fertilization. The fertilizers
shall be as per the approved materials submittal.
