Town of Parker Planting Standards.pdf

The document is a set of standard planting details created by the Town of Parker Parks and Recreation Department in Colorado, dated May 2023. These standard details provide comprehensive guidelines for tree, shrub, and perennial planting across three technical drawings (Detail SD-3, SD-5, and SD-6). The specifications cover precise planting techniques, including excavation methods, soil preparation, root ball handling, backfilling procedures, mulching requirements, and post-planting care instructions for different types of vegetation.

Each detailed drawing includes specific technical notes addressing critical aspects of planting, such as hole dimensions, soil amendment specifications, root ball treatment, and installation techniques. The standards emphasize proper tree and plant placement, ensuring root flare is set at the correct grade, using appropriate amended topsoil, maintaining proper mulch depths, and avoiding air pockets during backfilling. The documents appear to be part of the technical specifications for the Town of Parker's RFB 25-009 Median Landscaping project, providing contractors with exact requirements for landscape installations in municipal spaces.
