Planting Details and Specifications

Dr. Ed Gilman from University of Florida, Jim Urban, FASLA, and Brian Kempf and Tyson Carroll of the Urban Tree Foundation have developed a modern, up-to-date and peer reviewed set of details and specifications in AutoCAD and PDF formats for the green industry.  These are designed specifically for landscape architects, engineers, architects, contractors, urban foresters, arborists, municipalities and state agencies. 

All are open source, free and can be edited by the user.  You and your colleagues are free to use them in projects without charge and without credit to the Urban Tree Foundation or any of the project team members.  Although we encourage modification to fit your specific site and project needs, make your changes only after carefully considering all the pertinent variables at the planting site.
