Construction Drawings for Tree Planting

Whilst in the library I noticed a book on Tree Detailing by Michael Littlewood. Looking throught it I found lots of construction drawings and detailing for tree planting. As tree planting is something I have done alot of over the years working for my Dad's landscaping and planting company I thought this would good to practise drawings on. Also, I think they would be useful in the future to ensure contractors put tree ties on the correct way and neatly. First I drew a scale drawing of a single stake for an advanced heavy standard tree. I was able to fit all the important infomation on, however, I drew it to high so I could not represent the full height of the tree on my page so next time I need to make sure to measure the maximum dimensions onto the page first so I can ensure the drawing fits.

fter this I decided to draw how a tree should be tied to a single post using a rubber tree strap with buckle and a rubber spacer.
