The maintenance actions I would undertake at the beginning would be staking the trees, placing mesh around the roots to protect them, and ensuring they are being watered sufficiently. If after the 5 years assessment they are doing well, I will stop extra watering but keep the other things until observing the results of reduced watering. If the trees are still doing well, I will then remove the staking and mesh. Depending on what the weather conditions are, I will continue watering extra over the years to compensate for any droughts that might be experienced in the area. If grass does begin growing in the area, I will also implement a regular mowing schedule.
