Pinellas_County_Standard_Detail_1111.pdf

This document is a Pinellas County standard detail specification for tree protection, dated February 2016. The file provides comprehensive guidelines for protecting trees during construction or development projects, specifically outlining required distances and barrier construction methods for different types of trees including hardwoods, pines, and cabbage palms. The specification includes seven key notes detailing contractor responsibilities such as tree preservation, root pruning standards, and requirements for an ISA certified arborist to perform pruning.

The technical drawing provides specific measurements for tree protection, including drip line distances (2/3 of the drip line or 6 feet, whichever is greater) and a detailed barrier construction diagram with precise dimensional specifications. The barrier design includes 1" x 2" minimum wooden elements, 2" x 2" typical elements, and a 3'-0" typical height. While directly related to the Lealman Neighborhood Park non-native plant removal project, this document serves as a general county standard for tree protection during construction activities, ensuring minimal damage to existing vegetation during site work.
