Our crew will plant, <br />mulch, and prune these trees. The City Parks crew has an extensive background in maintaining <br />boulevard trees. <br />Training will not be needed for the Parks crew, as they have extensive experience working with planting <br />and maintaining boulevard trees. We will review planting, mulching, and watering practices just prior to <br />planting. Homeowners will have limited roles in tree maintenance, but they will receive instructions <br />regarding leaving mulch in place and about how frequently to water the trees. <br />I will be present at the first several plantings to refresh the crew on techniques. Inspections will follow <br />after all trees are planted, again by August 1st, and annually in spring thereafter. The "How to Plant <br />Trees" brochure will be provided to all staff involved in the project. <br />Trees will be kept moist until planting, then watered thoroughly directly after planting. All residents receive a <br />letter encouraging them to leave the mulch in place as installed and to provide 20 gallons of water per week <br />on weeks that don't receive an inch or more of rain. The efforts of the homeowners will be supplemented by <br />Parks crew members running a weekly route with a water tanker trunk, checking soil moisture and watering <br />accordingly. Extra care will be given during the hotter periods of the summer. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 065F83CA-61C8-441A-99AB-0093E546627C
