Fill

Currently there is a two metre decline approximately 3-7 metres away from and for a distance of 160 meters parallel to Spine Road.  This steep grade will need to be filled in order to properly install a fence. This will increase the cost of construction, but will provide a level surface for a fence to be constructed. Approximately 800 m3 of fill will be needed to address the decline on the Spine Rd. boundary. To avoid the cost of an additional 1,5 metres (creating a level surface 11,5 metres from the road) that will be needed if hedges are to be planted adjacent to the fence along Spine Road, trees are to be planted parallel to the fence at the bottom of the slope.  This cost of implementing trees (rather than shrubs) along the 160 metre length is identical given a cost of R12 per shrub, and R60 per tree.
