About this file
This document is a tree planting detail technical specification created by Pinellas County, dated June 2021, with the detail index number 1110. The specification provides comprehensive guidelines for planting trees as part of the Lake Park Drive Restoration Planting project, applicable to all restoration plantings including paurotis palm and saw palmetto. The detailed diagram outlines precise instructions for tree installation, including stake placement, root ball handling, mulching techniques, and post-planting care requirements.
The specification includes specific technical requirements such as stake placement based on tree caliper size (2 stakes for trees under 2" caliper, 3 stakes for trees over 2" caliper), positioning stakes at specific angles, and using 2" wood lodge poles driven at oblique angles. Additional critical details include instructions to cut all root ball ties and wire baskets at the top of the root ball, position the crown of the root ball 1-2" above finish grade, and create a 4" saucer rim with a 3" mulch layer. The document also mandates that landscape contractors remove staking and guying materials after one year and notes that alternative tree staking systems may be acceptable with county approval.
