The tree-slicing orgy and a mechanized root ball removal a few days later was step one in a plan to immerse the Galt Mile in attractive, tough, environmentally sound landscaping. Williams is spearheading the transformation. Update: the removal of the 8 Simpsons Stopper and replacement with 5 Japanese Blueberry and 3 Bulnesia will be completed today at and Galt Ocean Mile. Gardening Angel will be watering the trees in today but starting tomorrow the watering responsibility will be yours.
Same timeframe for watering will be needed everyday for first month, every other day for second month and every third day for third month. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns and I apologize for the last minute notification as there was an unexpected opening in our vendor's schedule.

With the notable exception of beds surrounding City Hall and in certain high-profile City Parks, the Parks Department commitment to irrigating new trees has been notoriously unreliable.
Secondly, the premise that rainfall will adequately irrigate trees planted and staked a month earlier proved little more than a sound bite, as scores of newly planted trees withered along the Galt Mile time and again - and had to be replaced. In addition to the expense of purchasing and installing replacement flora, labor costs skyrocket when city crews spend years desperately attempting to salvage neglected landscaping.
Since drought-stressed trees rarely reach maturity, Jors warned that the current plan would fail unless the new trees received enough water. While plants are unavoidably lost to storm damage, losing trees and sidewalk beds to insufficient irrigation borders on the asinine.
