FAQs

What governs when codes, standards, or regulatory requirements are referenced in the landscape drawings?

Referenced codes, regulations, standards, and agency requirements mean the latest edition in effect at the date of submission of bids or the applicable date of change orders/field orders.

Who is responsible for handling discrepancies or deviations between drawings and specifications?

Discrepancies must be reported to the landscape architect for clarifications and adjustments before work starts. Deviations or changes without written acceptance absolve the landscape architect of responsibility.

How should protected trees be handled during construction, especially regarding protection fencing and drip-line work?

Tree protection fencing is approximate and must be verified in the field; it should be located outside the dripline. Trenching within the dripline requires hand digging to avoid damaging roots, and exposed roots must not be allowed to dry before permanent backfill is placed.
