Operation Phase

A detailed specifications and methods statement could be drafted and included in the soft landscape maintenance contract to circumscribe the scope and to ascertain the quality of the work. Following this, quarterly inspections of affected and newly planted trees should be undertaken by an experienced and appropriately trained arborist or horticulturist for a period of 12 months. Hard landscape maintenance will be covered by the Conservation Management Plan and Operational Phase Manual.
