STREET TREES
6.00 DESIGN STANDARDS
6.01 PURPOSE
The purpose of creating design standards for street trees is to ensUre that City streets are lined with healthy, vigorous trees chosen for
their aesthetics according to type and species, and planted in ap;"vp,;ate locations suitable to vision clearance and overhead
obstructions, while m;n;m;7;'lg root damage to utilities, curbs, and sidewalks. A well-designed street tree layout will promote a
pleasing iinage of the City and appreciate the value of a neighborhood. . '
6.02 GENERAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
When considering a street tree design, existing trees, desirable tree species, tree locations, planting procedures, and plant
establishment shall be taken into account. The goal is to have street trees that are planted approximately 30 feet apart, but not planted
in sites that will cause the trees to be a nuisance or interfere with neighboring utilities or existing vegetation.
Design plans for projects requiring street trees shall show the street tree locations in a shaded format on the street lighting plan to
ensure street tree locations do not conflict with street. lights. Trees shall be at least 20 feet from decorative post top mounted street
lights, and 30 feet from cobra head street lights. .
A Tree Felling Permit shall be applied for and'obtained before removing more than five trees of five-inch D.B.H. on private projects.
City of Springfield Development Services stalIis available to evaluate trees located on private property.
6.02.1 Existinl! Trees
Existing trees that meet standard tree requirements shall be evaluated for retention to meet the Springfield Development Code. Look
for trees that are healthy, free of disease, and of befitting species. The trees saved should be an asset to the neighborhood before and
after street construction. rfthe trees are in sound condition and Best Management Practices (BMP's) are. employed in the field to
minimize the stress of construction, the trees may be saved. Trees without adequate protection will become a liability and will die after
a few years. BMP's to save existing trees shall include, but not be limited to, t1ie following methods:
A.
B.
D.
E.
F:
G.
c.
During initial 'planning phases of street design, determine which trees should be saved. If 2/3 of the root
,
system can be protected from construction, the tree shall be considered for saving.
Surround the trees with a fence along the drip line (edge of the tree canopy). As a minimum effort, this
area shall be considered off limits to all construction activity.
Apply a four-inch thick layer of chips or mulch around the tree roots to prevent compaction of the soil
where construction machinery would cross the roots;
Prune all roots encountered~during construction using sharp tools.
Trim low tree branches 'to prevent breakage. .
Design sidewalks of variable width, elevation., and direction to help save an existing tree.
Tunnel or bore for utility installations rather than trenching around the trees..
"
6.02.2 New Street Trees
New street trees shall be selected from the approved species list or as approved by the Public Works Maintenance Division. Select
healthy trees free of disease that have good form witJ:i a dominant centra11eader. Look for large root balls free of girding roots. Avoid
trees with cankers, scars, and dead or broken branches. Acceptable trees for planter strips of varying widths are catalogued below. '
Street trees are not recommended in planter strips less than four feet wide. When trees are planted in strips smaller than that,
significant sidewalk damage occurs. When planter strips are less than four feet wide, trees shall be planted behind the sidewalks in
adjacent yards. Where curbside sidewalks exist or are proposed, street trees can be selected from any approved category and shall b6
planted at least five feet back of sidewalk but not more than ten feet. When planting trees in large planting strips, plant in the back half
of the planter strip closes! to the sidewalk:.

6.02.5 Tree Plantinl1 Procedures and Establishment
Street trees shall be properly planted and watered to establish healthy trees. (See standard planting specification, Standard Drawing 2-
2). The following methods shall apply:
A. . . A planting pit shall be excavated large enough to accommodate the tree root retainers which shall be used whenever the
tree( s) are planted within eight feet of a concrete surface. The retainer shall be placed against the concrete to prevcnt root
evasion. Typically a retainer is placed on two sides of the tree. One retainer shall be set against the curb, the other against the
sidewalk. The root retainer shall typically bel2 to 18 inches deep and two to four feet in length along the concrete structure.
The root barriers shall be. of a design similar to Tree Root Barriers by DeepRoot or equivalent Never encircle the root ball
with a root barrier.
B. Remove tree from burlap or container and place on solidly packed soil so that the root collar is slightly above the ~urrounding
or anticipated grade. I '
C. . Insert an aeration tube on two sides of the tree. The tubes shall extend from the ground surface to the base of the root ball.
This will allow evaporation of excess moisture and provide for efficient summer watering. The tube shall be filled with pea.
gravel. The minimum aeration tube specification is a three-inch perforated ADS drainpipe or equivalent.
D. The tree shall be supported with two stakes on either side of the tree.
E. . On a typical four foot planter strip, plant trees at least I Y, feet from the sidewalk and 2 Y, feet from the
curb. On larger planter strips, locate the trees in the back half of the planter strip closest the sidewalk.
F. Place loose friable native backfill around the tree. If the excavation material is heavy clay, planter mix
shall be used as backfill.
. G. Spread a two- to three-inch layer of mulch around the tree but keep mulch six inches from the trunk.
H. Black plastic shall not be used as a weed barrier around trees as it promotes surface roots. '
1. Water the trees with ten to 20 gallons per week during the summer months of the first and second yearS.
Use a hose at low trickle for several hours to provide deep root watering. This will encourage roots to
grow deep rather than on the surface. Home irrigation systems are designed to water turf and shrubs, but
not tree roots. Trees should be augmented with additional waterings.
J. Fertilizers shall not be used the first year of planting. A BI vitamin shall be used to promote root
growth.
K. Street trees planted in ROW shall be subject to a two-year warranty period. Trees shall be alive and in
vigorous growing condition.after two growing seasons. See City of SpringfI~ld Standard Construction
Specifications for further information. '
