5 St. Monica Food Pantry PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 TREES & SHRUBS A. Placement of trees and shrubs must be approved by the landscape architect a minimum 24 hours prior to installation. B. Dig holes for trees and shrubs twice the container size for that plant. C. Break-up root balls to so that they are not root bound. D. Plant tree or shurb with appropriate soil mix level with the existing grade. Blueberries require the acidic Azalea & Rose mix, while all other trees and shrubs should use the typical plant soil mix. E. Compact soil using hands and feet around root ball to prevent settling. F. Mount 3 of soil around drip line of tree to form a tree well. 3.2 NO-MOW GRASS & RAIN GARDEN MEADOW PLANTING A. Soil should be graded to finished elevations and approved by Civil Engineer and work should only commence between October 1 and March 30. B. Mix no-mow seed mix or meadow mix with sand in a seed distributor to guarantee consistent distribution of seed mixture. Be sure the seeder is thoroughly cleaned prior to distribution. C. Cover all seeded areas with 4 oz coir mat for water retention and sun protection for seeds. The coir mat will overlap 6 and landscape staples will be installed every 2 0 to assure the blanket does not blow away. D. Completely soak all seeded areas upon completion. Soak (unless there is rain) every 3-days until plants are visible coming through the coir mat. 3.3 RAIN GARDEN / BIO-SWALE A. Excavate 2 0 from finish grade within rain garden and bio-swale parameters. Save top-soil for re-use in other parts of the landscape. B. Put a 4 layer of pea stone or crushed stone in the base of the rain garden and bio-swale. C. Cover stone with 4-oz non-woven filter fabric. D. Put a 10 layer of Super Sustain Soil above filter fabric and grade into surrounding landscape. E. Seed rain garden or bio-swale (see Section 3.2 for instructions). 3.4 NON-PAVED PATH A. Prior to installation landscape architect will layout precise location of walkway with landscape paint and stakes.

6 St. Monica Food Pantry B. Compact soil under path to 80% before installation. C. Install steel edge to a consistent 3 0 following layout prepared by landscape architect. The outside of the steel edge will be 1 above finished grade of the soil. D. Place 4-oz non-woven fabric between steel edge guides. E. Fill steel edge framed pathway with crushed or decomposed granite and grade level. F. Compact to until level with top of steel edge. 3.5 PAVED PLAZA AREA A. Install only after concrete surrounding paved area is complete. B. Excavate no less than 7 below finished height of surrounding concrete. C. Fill and compact crushed stone to 3 below finished height of surrounding concrete. D. Fill and compact sand to 40mm or the thickness of concrete pavers. E. Cut and lay pavers in herringbone pattern throughout with maximum gaps of 1/8. F. Sweep sand between the gaps and clean pavers of debris. 3.6 VEGETABLE GARDEN A. Excavate down and create a leveling pad of compacted base material that extends a minimum 6 in front of and 6 behind the stone. This leveling pad should also be a minimum of 6 deep. Once the pad is level and compact, begin placing the stones. The base course must be buried below grade and is included when calculating total wall height. B. To build the wall, use the trapezoidal-shaped stones. The long side should be placed in alternating directions (back and front) to form a straight wall. To turn a radius, stones can be placed facing the same direction or saw-cut if needed. C. Stones can be placed in any order to form an aesthetically pleasing pattern. The simplest pattern is one that incorporates large, medium and small stones. Stones should be fitted tightly against one another. D. After setting the first course, sweep it clean to remove any debris before setting the second course on top of it. Remember to keep the wall on bond by placing stones in a staggered relationship to the course beneath. E. Repeat this process to complete the wall. When finishing, glue the top two courses and cap into place with a concrete bonding material. F. Place 4 oz filter fabric behind wall and backfill with Typical Planting Soil. 3.7 CISTERN (See Details for Further Instruction) A. Pour reinforced concrete pad 7 0 x 9 0 and 6 thick at the location of cistern. B. Place cistern in location a shown in detail. Bolt into concrete with ½ concrete screws at 4 opposing locations. C. Trench 6 Schedule 40 PVC from specified gutter locations to cistern. When the PVC surfaces at the cistern it should be painted a metallic color to match the color of the cistern. Where it surfaces at the gutters the PVC should be painted the same color as the gutters. D. Install 4 PVC piping vertically at all gutter locations to top of building. Connect 4 PVC to first flush diverter and then gutter They shall be secured to the

7 St. Monica Food Pantry building with appropriate brackets every 2 0. At the base of the building the 4 PVC should connect into the sub-surface 6 PVC. E. Surface 6 PVC at location of input for the rainwater on the cistern and connect to the cistern at the appropriate location. F. Surface plumbing for HVAC condensate line at same location as the 6 PVC and connect the cistern at the appropriate location. G. Surface main line at the same location as the 6 PVC and connect to the cistern at the appropriate location. Connect float valve opposite the main line inside of the cistern. H. At the 1 water output at the base of the cistern connect the Aquabarrel, Solar TurboRain Water Pump. 1. At the output of the water pump / timer connect a pressure regulator that reduce pressure from 40 psi to 25 psi. 2. Connect a filter to the output of the pressure regulator to filter fine particulate matter. 3. Connect to irrigation main line and drip irrigation. I. Cover pump, pressure regulator and filter with protective box that is secured to the concrete base. 3.8 IRRIGATION A. Connect 1 polyurethane main line to system described above. B. Use splitter to connect main line to drip irrigation in the front of the building and run other main line under street to trees on West side of street. C. All main line should be a minimum of 4 below final grade. D. Drip irrigation will be located on just above final grade and below mulch. The drip irrigation should run parallel every 2 0 within planting beds. Use irrigation staples every 2 0 to keep irrigation from heaving.

8 St. Monica Food Pantry PART 4 MAINTENANCE 4.1 TEMPORARY WATERING A. All newly seeded landscape elements should be watered 3 times weekly until established. A hose and sprinklers set on timers or approve alternative method shall be used. The preferred installation time for seed is between October 1 and March 30 for optimal outside temperatures and to reduce the amount of temporary watering needed. 4.2 PLANT CARE A. Fertilizer: All trees, shrubs (except bluberries) and perennials should be fertilized once a year with MicroLife Blueberry bushes should be fertilized with MicroLife Azalea B. Pruning: Trees should be pruned once a year between December 1 & February 28 for plant health and form. 4.3 MOWING A. All no-mow grass areas should be mowed once a year in the spring prior to the new growing season (February or March). Grass clippings should be removed and composted. 4.4 WEED CONTROL A. Weeds should be pulled by hand as needed. Should weeds become a serious problem, a roofing torch can be used where one person directs the flame and the other keeps fire under control. This is a highly effective organic approach reducing the need for chemical herbicides. 4.5 CISTERN & COMPONENTS A. Gutters and first flush diverters should be inspected every 6 months for debris that could clog the system. B. Cistern should be inspected for debris within and removed if necessary. Drain cistern, disable float valve and remove debris. 4.6 IRRIGATION A. Perform manual test of irrigation system every 6 months. Replace batter and pump as necessary. B. Replace filter every 6 months. End of Section
