Yes, this credit is documented by showing the area of planted area that is supporting the landscaping. If you have a tree with a large canopy that extends beyond the planting bed or planting strip you still need to use the area of the pervious, landscaped soil. I have seen a review that denied an attempt to count the canopy area that was larger than the planter bed area. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your reply, David. I'll run with your advice and see where that gets us.
