Landscaping to Conserve Energy:
Ground Covers for Central Florida
Alan W. Meerow and Robert J. Black" itl,
Florida Cooperative Extension Sen'iceJ]nstitute of Food and Agrjcultur.d SCi"lltT:. l:UI\f'r"lt\ ql "J"ridti"ll}hr: T \\"C)f':-.t,'. f)"all --,~~~~~.~~\
A "ground cover" is any low-growing plant
material which can be used to cover an area in the
landscape. Many woody and herbaceous plants
fulfill this role, and can provide a surprising
amount of residential energy sa\o;ngs during
Florida's 5 to 7 months of high temperatures.
Plants release water through pores in their
leaves in a process called transpiration. As warm
air passes over the surface of the leaves, heat is
absorbed by the water, which then evaporates, and
the temperature of the air is lowered. 'This
_ interaction is called evaporative cooling, and air
temperatures immediately surrounding vegetation can
( be lowered by as much as gO F (50 C). The greater
the leaf surface area in the landscape, the greater
the cooling effects.
Paved surfaces around the home contribute
substantially to summertime heat loads. These
surfaces absorb the sun's heat or reflect it back
into the immediate environment, increasing the
amount of discomfort experienced by people during
the day. Paved areas also store heat during the
day, keeping temperatures high around the home
even after the sun has set. Temperatures over
ground cover vegetation can be 150 to 250 Flower
than over asphalt or concrete.
Turf grass certainly qualifies as a ground cover.
Many people find great aesthetic appeal in sweeping
areas of well-manicured, green lawn. On the
practical side, no other plant material can
withstand as much foot traffic as turf. However,
maintaining a lawn in prime condition requires
mowing, regular fertilization, irrigation, and, at
times, expensive treatments to control pests and
diseases. When these concerns are taken into
consideration, it becomes evident that turf grasses
_ can be extremely energy-intensive ground cover. As
oil prices rise, so do the costs of fertilizing a lawn
and running a gasoline-powered mower. Water
~ quality and availability have become important
issues in Florida, and the water demands of many
residential lawns may not be acceptable in the
future. Research has shown that a quarter acre of
lawn requires four times the total energy costs of a
similarly sized. energy conservative, landscape which
has one-sixteenth acre of lawn and the remaining
area planted \\;th low-maintenance trees, shrubs,
and other types of of ground covers1.
Figure 1, Lily turf IL. muscari) can be used as a low-maintenance
substItute for turf grass in densely sbaded areas
There are ground cover alternatives to turf
which require a fraction of the upkeep of lawn
grass, and are frequently more adaptable to a wider
range of environmental conditions. For instance,
turf docs not grow well in dense shade, and is
difficult to estahlish in extremely wet. or dry areas.

BENEFITS OF URBAN TREES
Urban and community forestry can make a difference in our lives. Each one of
us can make a personal contribution. Now. 75 percent of us live in cities and towns
and we can act individually to improve our natural environment through the planting
and care of trees on our own streets. and by supporting community-wide forestry
programs.
TREES REDUCE AIR POLLUTION - Trees and other plants make their own food from
carbon dioxide (C02) in the atmosphere, water, sunlight and a small amount of
soil elements. In the process they release oxygen (O~) for us to breath.
TREES SAVE ENERGY - Strategically placed trees can be as effective as other
energy saving home improvements, such as insulation and the installation of weather
tight windows and doors. Trees can help reduce your heating and cooling costs.
This results in burning less fossil fuels to generate electricty for cooling and
heating.
TREES CONSERVE WATER AND REDUCE SOIL EROSION - Trees create organic matter on
the soil surface from their leaf litter. Their roots increase soil permeability.
TREES MODIFY LOCAL CLIMATE - Trees can help cool the "heat is1and" effect in
our inner cities. These islands result from storage of thermal energy in concrete,
steel and asphalt. Heat islands are 3 to 10 degrees warmer than the surrounding
countryside. The collective effect of a large area of transpiring trees (evaporating
water) reduce the air temperature in these areas.
TREES REDUCE NOISE POLLUTION - Trees absorb and block noise from the urban
environment.
TREES CREATE WILDLIFE AND PLANT DIVERSITY - Trees and associated plants create
local ecosystems that provide habitat and food for birds, and animals. They offer
suitable mini-climates for other plants that would otherwise be absent from urban
areas. Biodiversity is an important part of urban forestry.
TREES INCREASE PROPERTY VALUES - Healthy trees can add up to 15 percent to
residential property value.
'1. "Benefits of Urban Trees", Forestry Report R8 - FR17, U.S.D.A. Forestry Service.
TREE SET BACKS
Although there is little agreement about the m1n1mum width of a
curbside treelawn, consider that even in an a-ft strip, a mature
tree planted in the center will still only have about three feet
separating it from the sidewalk. This space needs to absorb the
raised soil that accompanies the swelling of most older trees at
ground level. The tree lawns must also provide room for a large
portion of the spreading lateral root system (figure 1.)
Contrary to what many laYmen believe, the bulk of the root system
of most trees growing on sandy soils is within three feet of the
surface. The majority of the smaller absorbing roots lie in the
upper six inches of forest soil! The commonly held idea that trees
have taproots is mostly a fallacy!
with boundary tree lawns, planting trees at least 3 feet from the
edge of the walk should eliminate the problem with uplifting as
the lower trunk expands. 1 This does not address the potential
problem of root uplifting. For the desirable shade trees found in
Central Florida a proper set back would be 5 or more feet from edge
of walk.
Current and future public funding for tree pruning and other
cultural practices will always be limited in Seminole County. It
is not in the county's best interest to maintain trees in
subdivisions. with the establishment of trees on private property
the responsibility of tree maintenance falls in the hands of the
property owner and thereby helping to control increase tax dollars
to maintain trees in residential developments!
It is clear the county has a right to trim or remove trees within
county right-of-ways. I believe we should explore all methods
possible to prevent conflicts with property owners. For people
with established trees within right-of-ways or who desire to plant
trees in right-a-ways perhaps an agreement could be formulated
whereby the homeowner or homeowner association could assume
responsibility for the of these trees.

UTILIT[[S - ABOVE AND BELOW GROUND
",.,.--.
Pul>lic utilities include electric power, street lights, telephone, gas, water,
sewer, and cable television. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LEAKY SEWER LINES THAT
ATTRACT TREE ROOTS, THERE IS LITTLE INTERACTION BETWEEN TREES AND UNDERGROUND
UTI~ITIES ONCE THE LINES HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED! Utility lines are usually set
three feet deep; most tree roots are in the top foot of soil and almost never
go below th ree fee t.
The greatest conflict comes from above ground utility lines. A large tt1!e is
always a bad choice under powerlines. Always visualize the tree at maturity.
By moving the tree to one side of the vlire perhaps we can get away with a little
larger variety! Fi gure"two:, shows the proper placement of large trees near

These illustrations show the importance of taking locations of streetlight
standards into account when you decide where to plant trees. The top draw-
ing shows a tree planted a way from the st~eetlight and on the ot~er side of
the walk, leaving the walk illuminated at night. The bottom drawmg shows
that a tree planted between the walk and the streetlight will not allow the
streetlight to illuminate the walk at night.
FIGURE 2
Another technique for trees near powerlines or road right-of-ways is the use
of growth regulators. These products slow the growth of a tree. The most com-
mon used growth regulator at this time is a product with the trade name Clipper.
Utility companies have been working with these chemicals for over twenty years
and success varies with tree species and method used. Florida Power and Light
have been using them in selected areas.
EXISTING STREET TREES
We must also address existing trees which mayor may not be a problem. The goal
for Seminole County's program should be a safe walking surface, proper street
drain age, and a heal thy urban forest. To accompl ish thi s some trees wi 11 have
to be removed, while others m~y be saved by making changes in the sidewalk lay-
out. FiguretJt:;t'~.through fo~~:: show several suggested methods for solving a

It is clear the county has a right to trim or remove trees within county right-
of-ways. I believe we should explore all methods possible to prevent conflicts
with property owners. The city of Altamonte Springs is considering a door hang-
ing notice to inform the property owner his or her trees will be trimmed within
X number of days. Some people have expressed an interest in trimming the trees
t.hemse 1 ves t and the re by savin 9 the county the expense.
.-
LANDSCAPE SOURCES
Fall and winter seasons are excellent for landscape planting. Not only are
the trees going into a donnant state but local nurserymen generally have a good
supply of plant material available. A list of Central Florida Wholesale Growers
is enclosed.
I would recommend a mixture of various sized trees to add further interest and
reduce cost. Tree seedlings are available through state and private nurseries. Enclosed
is a li,st. Please call or write for their seedling brochure and order form.
An important source of free mulch are the utility companies. Florida Power
Corporation can provide you with the contact person who does the line clearing in
your area. Thei,r phone number is 629-1010
VOLUNTEERS
There are a number of youth groups who may be able to assist you in your
efforts. 4-H, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts have helped in the past on various
planting projects. Let me know if you need assistance and I will put you in
contact with some of their leaders.
'MAINTENANCE
Follow up care is as critical as any step you have carried out. If landscape
beds are not properly cared for your project is doomed from the start. Good care
involves good preparation. The illustration below shows a properly planted tree.
If plant material is established correctly and mulched watering should only be
required one to two time per week. In the case of bare root tree seedlings no
additi.onal watering wi 11 be necessary except under extreme conditions. I bel i eve
volunteer could do the job.

TREE PLANTING MADE EASY
To allow for proper root growth into the landscape soil, the top
of the root ball should be positioned even with or slightly above
the soil surface, never deeper (Figure (i;). There is no need to add
organic matter or fertilizer to the backfill soil around the root
ball. Always spread a 3 inch thick layer of mulch over the root
ball to conserve soil moisture and aid establishment.
WATER-THE BEST SOIL AMENDMENT
Irrigating recently installed trees is difficult, but essential.
Many die or perform poorly from too little or too much water. To
establish a tree in sandy, well-drained soil, from 3-to-5 gallons
of water per inch of trunk diameter are needed almost daily in the
first several months after planting. If soil drainage is poor,
less is required.
-
FERTILIZING
Fertilizer helps to maintain healthy trees. It is best to spread
fertilizer over the surface of the soil. Fortunately, fertilizing
is usually not necessary for trees growing in or near lawns and
adjacent to shrub beds treated regularly with fertilizer. This is
because most of the tree's fine feeder roots are located near
enough to the soil surface to utilize the fertilizer spread on the
lawn and landscape beds. Many trees respond well to a fertilizer
containing nitrogen and potassium. At least 30 percent or
preferably more of the nitrogen should be slow release. Palms and
other trees may benefit from additions of iron and manganese.
Fertilizer mixes that contain weed killers should be used
sparingly, if at all, within the root zones of trees because the
weed killer could harm the tree. Read and follow directions
printed on the label before applying these products.
PRUNING
~-
A critical part of tree care is pruning. Early pruning will save
costly tree work in the future. Tree pruning is a special service
which should be performed by professionals. Homeowners should only
prune from the ground. Non-professionals should never climb a tree
to prune because of the danger of falling. To prevent the need for
pruning at planting, purchase quality shade trees. Trees should
have one central trunk and branches spaced along the trunk, not
water ring

Figure 6 A) Never plant trees deeper than they were In the nursery. B) Plant even with the ground in well drained soli. C) In poorly
drained or compacted soli, the top of the root ball should be slightly,above the 5011 surface; add additional soli to cover the
side of the root ball. You can't go wrong by planting shallow.
clustered at one point. Prune 2 and 5 years after planting, then
place trees on a 5 to 7-year pruning cycle. Major storms taught
us that trees which are properly and regularly pruned are damaged
less in a storm than those not regularly pruned. Never top a tree
topping is the worst thing that you can do to a tree. Topping
initiates decay in branches and makes the tree more dangerous than
before it was pruned. Topping does not help prevent damage during
a storm
HOW TO HIRE AN ARBORIST
Arborists make a career of caring for trees. Here are several tips
for selecting an arborist:
-Avoid arborists who routinely top trees.
-Have more than one arborist look at the job, and get a written bid
specifying work to be done.
-Ask for and check local references.
-Beware of an arborist who wants to remove a living tree. Removal
of live trees is sometimes needed, but should be the last resort.
-Determine if the arborist is a member of the International Society
of Arboriculture or the National Arborist Association. Membership
does not guarantee quality, but lack of membership casts doubt on
the person's professionalism.
-Ask for certification of personal and property liability insurance
and workman's compensation. Then phone the insurance company to
make certain the policy is current.
-Low price is a poor gauge of a quality arborist. Often, the
better ones are more expensive because of more specialized
equipment, more professional help and insurance costs.

Encourage Deep
Root Growth
You can encourage the roots of your trees to grow
deep and safely out of harm's way.
· Watering
ShOl'1. f,'equent wale,.jngs wet only the lOp few inches of soil
and encolll'age I'ools to gl'Ow near the slllfacp. Water langel'
and less frequently, lelling the soil become moist to a depth
of several feet. Drilling can aid deep watering.
One inch of water pel' week is recommcndpd, applied slowly
\\ithin the entke dlipline (area undel' the spread of the.tree's
crownl and just beyond. You may want to water from a
gently running gal'den hose fOl' <I to 6 hours on a
weekly basis,
· Holes
Every 2-3 years, 3 or <I holes approximately 1-2 inches in
diameter may be dlilled or water-jetted at an angle down
and outward from near the base of the tree. The holes allow
penetration of water and oxygen.
Barriers force 1'00t growth downward, Research is beginning to show that in
well-drained, loamy soils, the trick works. Where soil aeration is pOOl' from either
compaction or excessive water; roots sometimes quickly turn back up towal'd the
surface after passing the barrier. However. the roots seem to be less massive when
this occurs. Gravel surrounding planter-type barriers like the one shown in the
photo belm\!' right. may also help supply enough water and oxygen to greater
depths to meet the needs of the roots and keep them deep.

chemical is not taken up in the plant system like most herbicides, so there is no

chemicals involved are said to be long-lasting. envil'Onmenlally safe and non-toxic to

Quick Guide to Successful Tree Care
. Have a tree management plan..
. Plant the right tree in the right spot.
. Select large-growing shade trees with one central trunk for planting.
. Plant correctly aCcOrding to the latest research.
. Set the rootball the same depth it was in the nursery.
. Water regularfy - it's the best soil amendment.
. Fertilize regularly with the right material.
. Prune regularfy to create a strong trunk and branches.
. Never prune branches from the trunk with a flush cut.
. Monitor routinely for insects and disease.
. Construct a fence at the edge of the dripline to protect a tree at a construction site.

To minimize liability when planting large-growing shade trees (for example live oak), select only those which have
one central trunk. Communities which plant trees that are trained in this manner in the nursery will have lower tree
management costs and healthier trees.

Enhancements of City Signs
The Beautification of Winter Springs Board has an ongoing program of plantings around
city signs, included in this program are the signs for the Senior Center. These plantings of
low flowering shrubs will enhance our signs. We have applied to the State of Florida for
permission to do the planting as the sign locations are on state roads. As soon as
pennission is granted work will commence.
We hope that these attractive plantings will meet with your approval.
