PWG560168 - Southwestern Campus Soft Scaping (Construction Services)

**please see plans and specs for complete project scope**

• Understory clearing and removals that will remove invasive material along forest edges and shrubs that are in decline or pose a health and safety concern. This lower impact approach will allow the trees that may be in the same areas to remain.
• New mulch beds will provide an aesthetically pleasing landscape while suppressing volunteer plants and allowing for easier maintenance until the master landscape plan can be implemented.
• New sod areas will provide an instant improvement to the overall look of the site and will provide the mow edges for some of the naturalized areas.
• New hydroseeded areas will allow us to use native low-maintenance seed mixes that will thrive with little care and crowd out invasive volunteer species, while being in keeping with the enhanced landscape of the Carling Campus.
• Some areas of lawn and shrub beds are still in good condition and should be weeded and over seeded to reduce the scope of work and preserve the aspects of the site that are still in good condition.
