Plant Selection Clause Samples
The Plant Selection clause defines the criteria and process for choosing plant species or varieties to be used in a project. It typically outlines factors such as suitability to the local climate, soil conditions, maintenance requirements, and aesthetic considerations. For example, it may require the use of native or drought-tolerant plants to ensure sustainability and reduce long-term upkeep. The core function of this clause is to ensure that plant choices are appropriate for the site and project goals, thereby minimizing future maintenance issues and supporting the overall success of the landscaping work.
Plant Selection. Plants selected for landscape areas shall be well suited to the climate and soil conditions at the project site. Plants with similar water needs shall be grouped together as much as possible. Drought tolerant plants are encouraged. Areas with slopes greater than twenty-five percent (25%) shall be landscaped with deep-rooting, water-conserving plants for erosion control and soil stabilization.
