SEED
**************************************************************************
NOTE: When applying seed over sprigs as a specified
method of establishing sprigs, select the annual
seed species to be installed. State-certified seed
is more stringently monitored than State-approved
seed; and therefore, more expensive.

TOPSOIL
**************************************************************************
NOTE: If topsoil properties are included in another
section of Division 2, delete this paragraph and
include a cross-reference to the appropriate
section. Otherwise, select appropriate paragraphs
on topsoil. Check with the local Agriculture County
Extension Service Office for soil properties
appropriate for the plant materials to be planted.
Where suitable topsoil is available within limits of
the work area, stripping and stockpiling of topsoil
should be included in the applicable section of
Division 2 of the specification. If suitable
topsoil is not available within the limits of the
work area, it should generally be the Contractor's
option to either treat the soil of the graded areas
with fertilizer and supplements so as to be
conducive to turf establishment and maintenance, or
to transport topsoil to the project site. Modify pH
range for specified turf and geographical
requirements.
