About this file
This is a Landscape Plans document prepared by Wallace Montgomery, LLP for the City of Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, in support of the Urban Meadow Courthouse Connection project. The plan details the landscaping design for Boyd Street, featuring the installation of Eastern Redbud (Cercis Canadensis) and Apple Serviceberry (Amelanchier x Grandiflora) trees along a 529-foot stretch of roadway from Station 01+45.00 to Station 06+74.00. The landscape design includes 60-inch diameter planters positioned at regular 65-foot intervals, with trees spaced 3.5 feet apart perpendicular to the street. The plan specifies planting soil requirements, tree stake placement for specimens over 2 inches in caliper, root ball exposure standards, and comprehensive pruning guidelines consistent with ANSI A300 and ISA standards. The work encompasses proper soil preparation with a minimum 3-foot depth, drainage considerations, and planter specifications to support tree establishment and long-term health in an urban environment.
The landscape plan includes detailed notes on proper planting procedures, including root flare exposure, soil scarification, bracing techniques, and material removal protocols to ensure optimal tree survival and growth. Trees identified for this project may be placed under utility wires and are specified at 1.5 to 2 inches in caliper at installation. The plan was prepared in July 2026 and includes professional engineer certification from Pennsylvania-licensed Professional Engineer Robert J. Hudson (PE 04430). The sheet is one of three in the overall landscaping plan set, with this sheet specifically addressing the Boyd Street corridor urban meadow component of the larger courthouse connection infrastructure project.
