Sam Oakley <br />231 Old Bernal Avenue Tree Inventory, Valuation, and Construction Guidelines <br />9/13/2024 11 <br /> <br /> <br />PO BOX 2412 <br />PISMO BEACH, CA 93448 <br /> <br /> (415) 407-6995 <br />SAM@OAKLEYGROUP.ORG <br />WWW.OAKLEYGROUP.ORG <br /> <br />Construction Guidelines <br /> <br />• Do not use tree trunks as a winch support in demolition or for moving and lifting <br />large loads. <br /> <br />• Do not dump concrete residue, chemicals, solvents, etc., on site. <br /> <br />• Do not attempt the demolition of trees with grading equipment when trees that are <br />to be preserved are in the vicinity. Trees uprooted by pushing or pulling may <br />damage branches or root systems of adjacent trees. All trees and stumps should be <br />removed by a qualified company. <br /> <br />• Grade and trench lines radial to trees rather than tangential. If roots are <br />encountered while trenching, follow root severance guidelines. <br /> <br />• If soil compaction has occurred near or within the CRZ by operating of heavy <br />equipment or other operations, aerate (fracture) soil as quickly as practical. <br /> <br />• If demolition of existing roads, structures, etc. is near any tree to be preserved, a <br />small soft-rubber tire loader should be used. Any work within six (6) feet of any <br />trunk should be performed by hand. <br /> <br />Maintenance Guidelines <br /> <br />• All recommended services should be performed before construction ends. Pruning <br />shall cease after construction and only be performed as directed by a Certified <br />Arborist for maintenance purposes. <br /> <br />• Continuance of irrigation for one to eight (1-8) months, or as directed by a Certified <br />Arborist. Gradually reduce irrigation to avoid overwatering. <br /> <br />• Provide the new property owners with information they will require for proper <br />maintenance of trees on the property. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 345 of 373
