Evergreen Planting

A detailed landscaping diagram illustrating the proper method for planting an evergreen tree. The main focus is a cross-sectional view of the tree positioned in the ground. The tree is shown with layers of mulch, soil, and root ball. Key features include the root collar, which is set 2 to 3 inches above the finished grade, a mulch layer 3 inches deep, and a basket to be completely removed from the top of the root ball. The soil is roto-tilled to a depth of 12 inches, and planting mixture specifications are noted, with a clear indication to break up the sides of the planting hole. There are annotations detailing measurements of 12 inches and 36 inches at typical distances around the tree. The top left of the image contains a diagram showing +/- 120 degrees between guy wires. The bottom of the image is labeled “EVERGREEN PLANTING,” with no scaling indicated, appended by a code and date.
