spreading planting soils (this requirement is waved where there is under drain perforated piping):

1. Perform percolation testing of subsoil or placed fills to determine whether or not the subgrade will drain properly. Perform percolation tests as specified in this Section,

2. In the event that percolation testing indicates that the subsoil, placed fills or ordinary borrow has been over compacted and will not drain, the contractor shall loosen up the top 12 inches of the subgrade to be planted and seeded by

for each lift of loam borrow.


ripping or other mechanical means. Re-compact the borrow by driving a small, tracked bulldozer over the area at low speeds so that the tracks of the bulldozer pass over the affected area and the soil is compacted to a density that will percolate as. Under no circumstances shall wheeled vehicles be driven over subsoil, placed fills or ordinary borrow that have been shown to percolate or subsoil, placed fills or ordinary borrow that has been loosened and shown to percolate.

3. Perform sufficient percolation tests in areas of poorly draining or compacted subsoil or compacted placed fills as directed by the Landscape Architect to ensure that these underlying soils drain. Likewise, perform sufficient percolation tests after ripping and loosening to ensure that the soils are no longer too compact to drain.

B. Do not damage the work previously installed. Maintain all required angles of

repose of materials adjacent to the loam as shown on the Contract Documents. Do not over excavate compacted subgrades of adjacent pavement or structures during loaming operations.

C. Confirm that the subgrade is at the proper elevation and that no further earthwork

is required to bring the subgrade to proper elevations. Subgrade elevations shall slope parallel to the finished grade and or toward the subsurface drain lines as shown on the Contract Documents.

D. Clear the subgrade of all construction debris, trash, rubble and any foreign

material. In the event that fuels, oils, concrete washout or other material harmful to plants have been spilled into the subgrade material, excavate the soil sufficiently to remove the harmful material. Such construction debris, trash, rubble and foreign material shall be removed from the site and disposed of in a legal manner. Fill any over excavation with approved fill and compact to the required subgrade compaction levels.

E. Do not proceed with the installation of amended topsoil until all utility work in the

area has been installed. F. Protect adjacent walls, walks and utilities from damage or staining by the soils.

Use 0.5-inch plywood and or plastic sheeting as directed to cover existing concrete, metal and masonry work and other items as directed during the progress of the work. Clean up all trash and any soil or dirt spilled on any paved surface at the end of each working day.

Minimum Maximum

b. Reinforced Turf Root Zone Mix As achieved after two flood events per 3-inch lift.

3. The surface area of each lift hall shall be scarified by raking prior to placing the

next lift.

I. Compaction:

1. For amended topsoil for general use in turf and plant beds, and for High Use Turf Mix in turf areas, compact each lift sufficiently to reduce settling but not enough to prevent the movement of water and feeder roots through the soil. The amended topsoil in each lift should feel firm to the foot in all areas and make only slight heel prints. At completion of the loam borrow installation, the soil should offer a firm, even resistance when a soil sampling tube is inserted from lift to lift.

2. For Reinforced Turf Root Zone Mix, consolidate the root zone mix and the fiber-reinforced root zone mix by flooding each lift a minimum of two times and allowing the water to drain away before subsequent flood events or successive soil lifts.

J. Percolation test procedure:

1. Dig a hole in the installed soil that is a minimum of 4 inches in diameter. Holes in 6-inch lift in turf areas shall be 4 inches deep. Holes in 12-inch lifts in plant beds shall be 8 inches deep. Do not penetrate through the lift being tested.

2. Fill the hole with water and let it drain completely. Immediately refill the hole with water and measure the rate of fall in the water level.

3. In the event that the water drains at a rate less than one inch per hour, till the soil to a depth required to break the over compaction.


4 Perform a minimum of one soil percolation test per 10,000 square feet area of turf area and 2,500 square feet of tree and shrub planting area as directed by the Landscape Architect.

5. Do not spread any amended topsoil for general use, high use turf mix of reinforced turf root zone mix until placed materials have been tested for percolation rates.

K. Select equipment and otherwise phase the installation of the amended topsoil to

ensure that wheeled equipment does not travel over subsoil, placed fills or ordinary borrow or already installed soil. Movement of tracked equipment over said soils will be reviewed and considered for approval by the Landscape Architect. If it is determined by the Landscape Architect that wheeled equipment must travel over already installed soil, provide a written description of sequencing of work that ensures that compacted soil is loosened and un-compacted as the work progresses or place one-inch thick steel plate ballast (or equivalent ballast approved by the Architect) over the length and width of any travel way to cover loam borrow to protect it from compaction.

L. Disturbed areas outside the limit of turf work shall be graded smooth and spread

with a minimum of 6 inches of loam borrow to the finished grade.

3.7 PREPARATION OF TREE PITS

A. After tree planting pits have been excavated to the dimensions shown on the plans, the entire bottom area of the pit shall be scarified utilizing the bucket of a backhoe or equivalent equipment. The entire loosened area shall then be compressed firmly with the bucket of the backhoe. The central portion of the pit, beneath the rootball, shall be compressed adequately to support the rootball and prevent settlement.

3.8 CLEANING

A. Clean up debris generated under work of this section. B. Site Improvements:

1. Wash and sweep clean site improvements such as drainage and utility fixtures, pavements, existing plantings, and site furnishings.

3.9 PROTECTION

A. Protect work of this section until Final Acceptance. B Protect prepared soils from compaction by construction traffic and from

contamination by construction materials and from saturation.


3.10 ACCEPTANCE

A. Confirm that the final grade of the loam borrow is at the proper finish grade elevations. Adjust grade as required to meet the contours and spot elevations noted on the Plans. Request the presence of the Architect to inspect final grade. Do not proceed with the remaining work of this Contract until the Architect has given his/her written approval of the final grade.
