Page 1 of None page

City of Austin Draft Cemetery Master Plan Tree Care Work Plan and Gap Analysis Definitions Historic Trees: Individual trees and other plants within the cemeteries are considered historic if they were either growing or planted within the period of significance of a cemetery, or if they are part of a pattern of vegetation from the period of significance. Protected Trees: Any tree 19” in diameter at breast height, ~4.5’ from grade (DBH), regardless of species or condition Heritage Trees: as having a diameter of 24 inches or more in DBH, and is one of the following species: Texas ash, bald cypress, American elm, cedar elm, Texas madrone, bigtooth maple, all oaks, pecan, Arizona walnut, and Eastern black walnut. Summary of Maintenance Tasks and Estimated Costs Analysis • Preserve historic trees by developing a tree protection, preservation, planting, and maintenance plan for each cemetery in collaboration with an ISA Certified Arborist and PARD Urban Forestry o An MOU between DS & PARD will require a tree mitigation plan to be developed and reported on a semi-annual basis. Estimated 624 hours of labor/year required. • Perform bulk density testing of CRZs to determine levels of soil compaction, and then aerate using an air-spade as needed. o Soil testing was estimated to take 50 hours/year in labor and $6142/year in testing fees. • Fertilize trees annually with a slow release organic fertilizer, preferably compost, as determined necessary by soil testing. o Compost could be combined with mulch and applied to as much of the CRZ as possible to meet this requirement. Estimated 6867 hours of labor/year required, based on half an hour per tree with a three person crew, average DBH of 17”, and 4578 trees. Cost of materials based on $35/cubic yard of a mulch and compost mix, an estimated 2826 cu yds to cover the ¼ CRZ of 4578 trees with an average DBH of 17”. Soil testing was estimated to take 50 hours/year in labor and $6142/year in testing fees. • Mulch all trees, covering as much of the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) as possible, while keeping a mulch free area around trunks o Compost could be combined with mulch and applied to as much of the CRZ as possible to meet this requirement. Estimated 6867 hours of labor/year required. Cost of materials based on $35/cubic yard of a mulch and compost mix, an estimated 2826 cu yds. to cover …
