turfgrass<br />
All new turf seed and sod on campus shall be Turf Type Tall Fescue<br />
based blend.<br />
To protect the building in areas where turf meets the building facade,<br />
incorporate a 1 foot wide concrete mow strip at the foot of the building.<br />
The mow strip reduces the potential for mower damage and eliminates<br />
the need to follow up mowings with additional manual trimming. The<br />
mow strip also provides a separation from the building facade and any<br />
irrigation system that may be installed.<br />
irrigation<br />
Evaluate plant types and turf species prior to planting to select varieties with<br />
water needs most suited to each specific site. Choose plants that do not<br />
require long term irrigation whenever possible and practical. Where irrigation<br />
is determined to be necessary, place plants with different water needs on<br />
separate irrigation zones in order to avoid over-watering and plant failures.<br />
protection of existing campus trees<br />
Existing trees on construction sites should be protected with fencing at the<br />
drip line of the tree. No material storage, parking of vehicles or equipment,<br />
or other disruption to this area should be allowed. All of these activities can<br />
result in soil compaction or contamination, and the eventual decline and<br />
death of the tree. Impacts of this damage may not be evident for several<br />
years after construction has concluded.<br />
