The site was first prepared by covering the exposed landfill material with approximately 1m-1.5m of clean top soil, then heavily mulched with street tree and recycled mulch. The plants where then augered into position using a specially designed blade fitted to a single person operated petrol auger. The blade first spreads the mulch away, then drills and breaks the soil compaction below. Planting crews then followed.This produced a quick and effective method with quality results.
