Prepare the ground by plowing under any temporary grass areas and preparing the soil as follows:

On slopes 3:1 or flatter, plow shoulders and embankment slopes to between 4 in. and 6 in. (100 mm and

150 mm) deep.

Plow front and back slopes in cuts to no less than 6 in. (150 mm) deep. After plowing, thoroughly disk the area

until pulverized to the plowed depth.

Serrate slopes steeper than 3:1 according to plan details when required.

On embankment slopes and cut slopes not requiring serration (sufficient as determined by the Engineer),

prepare the ground to develop an adequate seed bed using any of the following methods as directed by

the Engineer:

• Plow to a depth whatever depth is practicable.

• Use a spiked chain.

• Walk with a cleated track dozer.

• Scarify.

Disking cut slopes and fill slopes is not required.

Remove boulders, stumps, large roots, large clods, and other objects that interfere with grassing or may

slide into the ditch.

Spread topsoil stockpiled during grading evenly over cut and fill slopes after preparing the ground.

Push topsoil from the top over serrated slopes. Do not operate equipment on the face of completed

serrated cuts.

Mitigation Areas.

For Permanent Grassing in native restoration areas, multitrophic native planting areas, riparian areas, stream

restoration areas, and wetland and stream mitigation areas, provide the minimum ground preparation

necessary to provide seed to soil contact. Riparian areas may also be seeded using the no-till method. The

no-till method is defined by planting permanent grass seeds using a drill-type seeder over existing vegetation

without plowing or tilling soil. Ensure that existing vegetation is less than 3 inches in height (this may be

achieved by mowing or using a mechanical string trimmer).

When grassing areas adjacent to residential or commercial lawns, the Engineer shall change the plant material

to match the type of grass growing on the adjacent lawn. The Contract Unit Price will not be modified for

this substitution.

Apply temporary grassing according to Subsection 163.3.05.F. Determine lime requirements by a laboratory soil

test. Refer to seeding Table 5 for species, amounts of seed and planting dates.

In March or April of the year following planting and as soon as the weather is suitable, replace all areas of

temporary grass with permanent grass by plowing or overseeding using the no-till method. If the no-till method is

used, ensure that temporary grass is less than 3 in. in height (this may be achieved by mowing). Additional mulch

will be required only if the temporary grass does not provide adequate mulch to meet the requirements of

Subsection 700.3.05.G, Mulching.

Temporary grass, when required, will be paid for according to Section 163.

Projects that consist of asphalt resurfacing with shoulder reconstruction and/or shoulder widening: Type II Wood

Fiber Blanket is used to stabilize disturbed areas, no till seeding will be used when permanent grassing is applied

and the areas will not be re-disturbed. 1347134713471347

Apply and mix lime and fertilizer as follows:

Uniformly spread agricultural lime on the ground at the approximate rate determined by the laboratory

soil test.

agricultural lime as filler material is to be shown on the fertilizer bag or invoice from the supplier. Do not

deduct any amount of fertilizer when lime is used as filler.

Uniformly spread the fertilizer selected according to Subsection 700.2.D over the ground or by use

of hydroseeding.

For bid purposes base estimated quantities on an initial application of 400 lb./acre of 19-19-19.

Before proceeding, uniformly work the lime and fertilizer into the top 4 in. (100 mm) of soil using harrows,

rotary tillers, or other equipment acceptable to the Engineer.

On cut slopes steeper than 3:1, other than serrated slopes, reduce the mixing depth to the maximum practical

depth as determined by the Engineer.

Omit mixing on serrated slopes.

Wetland and Stream Mitigation Areas

Omit the application of lime and fetilizer within riparian areas.

Prepare seed and sow as follows:

Inoculate each kind of leguminous seed separately with the appropriate commercial culture according to the

manufacturer’s instructions for the culture.

When hydroseeding, double the inoculation rate.

Protect inoculated seed from the sun and plant it the same day it is inoculated.

Weather permitting, sow seed within 24 hours after preparing the seed bed and applying the fertilizer and

lime.

Sow seed uniformly at the rates specified in the seeding tables. Use approved mechanical seed drills, rotary

hand seeders, hydroseeding equipment, or other equipment to uniformly apply the seed. Do not distribute

by hand.

To distribute the seeds evenly sow seed types separately, except for similarly sized and weighted seeds. They

may be mixed and sown together.

Do not sow during windy weather, when the prepared surface is crusted, or when the ground is frozen, wet, or

otherwise non-tillable.

Temporary grass areas that were prepared in accordance with Subsection 700.3.05.A, may be overseeded

using the no-till method. The no-till method is defined by planting permanent grass seeds using a drill-type

seeder over existing temporary grass without plowing or tilling soil and in accordance with Subsection

700.3.05.C.

Table 3 (Native Grasses) and at least two (2) species from Seeding Table 4 (Approved Riparian Mitigation -

Herbaceous Plants). The seed, shall be applied as Permanent Grassing within those areas designated on the

plans. The kinds of seed, shall be used according to the appropriate Planting Dates given in the tables. 1348134813481348

Hydroseeding may be used on any grassing area. Under this method, spread the seed, fertilizer, and wood fiber

mulch in the form of a slurry. Seeds of all sizes may be mixed together. Apply hydroseeding as follows:

Apply wood fiber mulch at approximately 500 lbs./acre (560 kg/ha).

prevent an even application.

Native Restoration Areas, Multitropic Native Planting Areas, Riparian Areas, Stream Restoration Areas, and

Wetland and Stream Mitigation Areas may be hydroseeded. When hydroseeding in these areas only use

water, seed and wood fiber mulch.

Except as noted in Subsection 700.3.05.B and Subsection 700.3.05.C, apply mulch immediately after seeding

areas as follows:

Areas with permanent grass seed and covered with slope mats or blankets will not require mulch.

Evenly apply straw or hay mulch between 3/4 in. and 1-1/2 in. (20 mm and 40 mm) deep, according to the texture

and moisture content of the mulch material.

Mulch shall allow sunlight to penetrate and air to circulate as well as shade the ground, reduce erosion, and

conserve soil moisture. If the type of mulch is not specified on the plans or in the Proposal, use any of the

following as specified.

Apply mulch with tackifier regardless of whether using ground or hydroseeding equipment for seeding.

using a blower, thoroughly loosen baled material before feeding it into the machine so that it is broken up.

enough to prevent new grass from emerging (if required).

Do not apply mulch on windy days.

If distributing the mulch by hand, immediately apply the tackifier uniformly over the mulched areas.

• Tackifier: Use a tackifier listed in the Laboratory Qualified Products Manual and apply at the

manufacturer’s recommended rates.

Apply walked-in-mulch on slopes ranging in steepness from 5:1 to 2:1 and treat as follows:

No dwarf Bermuda types shall be used. Sod shall be nursery-grown and be accompanied with a Georgia

Department of Agriculture Live Plant License Certificate or Stamp. Sod shall consist of live, dense, well-rooted

material free of weeds and insects as described by the Georgia Live Plant Act.

Furnish either big roll or block sod. Ensure that big roll sod is a minimum of 21 in. wide by 52 ft. long.

Minimum dimensions for block sod are 12 in. wide by 22 in. long. Ensure all sod consists of a uniform soil

thickness of not less than 1 in.

Excavate the ground deep enough and prepare it according to Subsection 700.3.05.A to allow placing of sod.

Spread soil, meeting the requirements of Subsection 893.2.01, on prepared area to a depth of 4 in.

Apply lime and fertilizer according to Subsection 700.3.05.D within 24 hours prior to installing sod.

Do not place sod on frozen ground or where snow may hinder establishment.

Install Sod as follows:

• Place sod by hand or by mechanical means so that joints are tightly abutted with no overlaps or gaps.

Use soil to fill cracks between sod pieces, but do not smother the grass.

• Stake sod placed in ditches or slopes steeper than 2:1 or any other areas where sod slipping

can occur.

• Use wood stakes that are at least 8 in (200 mm) in length and not more than 1 in. ( 25 mm) wide.

• Drive the stakes flush with the top of the sod. Use a minimum of 8 stakes per square yard (meter) to

hold sod in place.

• Once sod is placed and staked as necessary, tamp or roll it using adequate equipment to provide good

contact with soil.

• Use caution to prevent tearing or displacement of sod during this process. Leave the finished surface of

sodded areas smooth and uniform.

After the sod has been placed and rolled or tamped, water it to promote satisfactory growth. Additional

watering will be needed in the absence of rainfall and during the hot dry summer months. Water may be

applied by Hydro Seeder, Water Truck or by other means approved by the Engineer.

Dormant Bermuda grass sod can be installed. However, assume responsibility for all sod through

establishment and until final acceptance.
