Bruising of Lawn An injury to grass areas resulting in discolored blades of grass, usually caused by mowing with a dull blade.

Caliper The measurement of a tree trunk at its widest diameter, measured six inches up from the ground for trees under four-inch caliper, and twelve inches from the ground for trees over four-inch caliper. Multi-stem plants are measured at the widest point of all trunks, six inches up from the ground for trees under four inch caliper, and twelve inches from the ground for trees over four inch caliper.

Classification and Ordering of Plants

For the purposes of pruning, trimming, planting, or removal, specific plants shall be identified according to their type and application as specified in the American Horticulture Society Encyclopedia of Garden Plants (latest edition), D.K.

Publishing under ISBN-0-7894-1943-2. Example: A Red Tip Photinia bush which is 15' tall will be classified as a shrub.

Clipping Any vegetation that is left on paved surfaces, lawns, and plant beds after being cut by means of shears, mowers, etc.

De-thatch Removal of unwanted thatch from mowed areas to promote health and growth.

Debris Includes, but is not limited to, paper, cans, bottles, limbs and branches, pine straw and pinecones, leaves, rocks, and other similar items.

Depression A small area that has sunken below its surroundings.

DHA Defense Health Agency Diameter at Breast Height

(DBH)

The diameter of a tree measured at 4½ feet above ground level.

Edging Creating a uniform edged cut to promote a neat appearance and prevent ground structures from vegetation encroachment.

Fertilization Application of natural and synthetic materials to the soil where it has become deficient in nutrients essential for proper plant growth.

Frond A large leaf or branch of a palm tree, usually with many divisions.

Grade To bring soil to previously established level or inclination using appropriate tools and equipment.

Ground Cover A plant which is chosen for the special task of providing a dense low attractive cover that prevents weeds and erosion. Varieties include, but are not limited to Vinca, Hosta, Ivy, Alyssum, Ajuga, and Liriope.

Hedge Shrubs or other plants planted closely together so as to form an unbroken line during trimming.

Irrigation Application of water to the soil to promote health and growth.

Improved Area Improved grounds apply to areas within the built-up section of an installation which contains lawns and landscape development parade grounds, drill fields, athletic facilities, cemeteries, golf courses (except roughs), and similar areas, and include the maintenance and care of ornamental and decorative growth, such as shrubs and flowers and other plantings that are appurtenant to and within lawn areas.

Irrigation System A permanent system used for apply water to lawns and plants. The irrigation system includes all pumps, controls, piping and, sprinkler heads. The irrigation system starts at the valve supplying to the system.

Maximum Growth Height That limit of dominant vegetative growth, including seed heads or pods.

Mowing Cutting of all grasses, weeds, and other vegetation that is 1 inch or less in diameter (at ground level).

Operational Areas Areas driven by operational requirements (e.g., ATFP, BASH, Clear Zone

Management, and NAVSEA OP-5).

Parcel A designated area of land which may be indicated on installation maps or other attachments.

Pruning The selective removal of unwanted growth to restore a plant or tree to its natural symmetry and appearance. Pruning involves selection and judgment, and does not include the practice of cutting off all branches to an even length. This may include re-sculpting, changing the size, or any other form of work that directly affects the look and growth pattern of the plant.

Registered Pesticide A pesticide registered by EPA for sale and use within the United States.

Rejuvenation The severe pruning of overgrown bushes, shrubs and hedges to within a few inches of the ground or as directed by the KO to restore the plant to its natural shape.

Rut Depressions made in soil or grass by tires of vehicles or heavy equipment.

Shrub A woody perennial plant generally smaller than a tree, usually having many permanent stems branching from or near the ground, and does not have a definite crown shape. Shrubs may be deciduous or evergreen, and in the area covered by this contract, may be very large in height and width.

Stump The bottom portion of a tree, which remains in the ground after the tree, has been cut for removal. Usually less than five feet in height.

Swale A low-lying or depressed area intended for drainage.

Thatch A layer of slowly decomposing organic residues situated above the soil surface and constituting the upper stratum of the medium that supports turf grass growth.

Usually associated with warm season grasses.

Tree A perennial woody plant having a permanent self-supporting single stem or multiple stems. Ordinarily grows higher than ten feet, and usually develops branches at some distance above the ground with a definite crown shape.

Trimming Removal of unwanted vegetation around trees, shrubs, flower and shrub beds, cultivated areas, poles, walls, valves, and other similar objects to match the height and appearance of the surrounding grass. Shrub and hedge trimming includes removal of unwanted vegetation to maintain a uniform, and well-shaped appearance, and to prevent interference with pedestrians, vehicle traffic and building encroachment.

Trunk The main stem of a tree, usually long, large and relatively straight.

Vegetation Plant life collectively consisting of grass, weeds, and other greenery (excluding shrubs, hedges, and trees) growing wild or cultivated on lawns, fields, and other areas.
