We are having some extremely warm weather here in West Richland for July. But honestly, it’s typically like this. With that in mind, ensuring that our trees and landscaping are being taken care of, we should already be prepared for what to do.
Best Management Practices for Tree Preservation
- Tree Service Firm Qualifications: We have successfully completed tree protection and trimming work similar to that required for large projects and that will assign an experienced, qualified arborist to the project site during execution of tree protection and trimming. The protection of trees identified to remain includes the maintenance of their health and vitality as well as their protection from physical damage and biotic and abiotic disease.
- Mitigation Techniques: Utilize mitigation techniques for trees in construction areas as recommended by Top Tree LLC.
- Topsoil: Natural or cultivated surface-soil layer containing organic matter and sand, silt, and clay particles; friable, pervious, and black or a darker shade of brown, gray, or red than underlying subsoil; reasonably free of subsoil, clay lumps, gravel, and other objects more than 1 inch in diameter; and free of weeds, roots, and toxic and other non-soil materials. Obtain topsoil only from well-drained sites where topsoil is 4 inches deep or more; do not obtain from bogs or marshes.
- Filter Fabric: Manufacturer’s standard, non-woven, pervious, geo-textile fabric of polypropylene, nylon, or polyester fibers.
- Organic Mulch: Shredded hardwood, free of deleterious materials.
