I think the same Rob. Thanks.

Thanks Toby.

Tree Staples query was for this tree and others on this project. This is for a ground up residence and the architect/team member called for a specimen Oak to be planted in an area where there are already Oaks – aesthetically and plant community-wise it makes sense to me so I’m on board. But irrigated continuously it cannot be because of the existing oaks and oak understory planting. Per the water use Ordinance and arborist’s tree protection plan, water is to be cut after establishment in this area.  The soil has been potholed. Thanks – I will lay the tree planted detail on the installer instead of drawing one – good idea. Thanks so very very much.

I am not needing “methodology”. I am inquiring about planting detail. I have never planted a tree so large and am not sure how to anchor it – am thinking tree staples but?  It will be planted in the Fall, and I’m specifying drip irrigation – but still should I call out that it is to be watered/soaked immediately upon planting? This is what I would normally do with a tree but it is an Oak and so it is a different animal…  Thanks Andrew.

I think you read this incorrectly Jordan. I am taking no liability. The thing is a client can come after me regardless so I am making a note that I am not responsible in the specs. In any case – my initial question had nothing to do with liability – and is chiefly concerning any specifics to insure that the tree is planted well. thanks – Jennifer

Thanks Toby.

thanks Toby.

It is a Quercus agrifolia. Field grown and then put in a container – or box. The actual tree hasn’t been selected yet so I have no idea how long it has been in the box or will have been…

It is for a client. The contractor is purchasing it. I am providing construction detail for installation. I am not responsible if it dies. I will make a note of that in my specs. (Thanks) I have a source for the tree but the contractor is allowed to find his own source as long as I approve it and can view the tree prior.  There is a project arborist involved. The tree is going into a site among other oaks, mature Quercus lobata and Quercus alba exist in the planting area already. The arborist will oversee the installation and perhaps the tree selection process too.

The General Contractor is responsible for the bidding process for the Landscape Installer – I have no to little say in this selection – but I will mention to my client that this should be a question for the prospective installer.

What do you think?

Thanks!

The project is in Ross, Marin County. 

[jennifer Bloch]

Yes – looks like the same technology. Do you have any firsthand experience with these Toby? Wondering if they are as reliable as stakes and guy wires?  Thanks!

[jennifer Bloch]

Thanks John.

It took 2 weeks from passing the CSE to receive my license and I used Acorn Sales and sent for my stamp immediately.

personally – i think you can lose the word portfolio. I think all that it requires is your name, date and course of study – the text should be small in my opinion

[jennifer Bloch]

Hi Luke.

I’ve read the comments of others about not communicating Landscape Architecture. It spoke to me. I’m a licensed Landscape Architect. I would love to receive that portfolio on my desk and would be curious about the mind of the person who thought to do something a-typical and who had an artful eye. What kind of firm do you want to work for? I think this is important in creating your cover as it is the first key that could perhaps unlock a door for you. 

I hope this helps. Don’t lose your unique way of seeing things.

[jennifer Bloch]

love it. (all the scale figures in my thesis were cats)

makes me think of rome and the cat population.
