Expand an undersized concrete tree well, Rhodes Park

Several mature trees along Rhodes Park's ball-field edge are ringed by an undersized concrete well that's strangling their root zone, the same infrastructure-care gap the LBC Place criteria flags. Standard: SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol. Proof: Before photo of the undersized well + Cutting/removal photos with dust control visible + Finished, expanded + mulched well photo Method (SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol.): 1. Photograph the undersized well and mark the expanded cut line clear of the root flare. 2. Saw-cut the concrete along the marked line with wet-cut dust control. 3. Break out and remove the cut section, exposing open soil to the expanded radius. 4. Finish the exposed edge, mulch the new open area, and photograph the finished, expanded well. Done when: Before photo of the undersized well + Cutting/removal photos with dust control visible + Finished, expanded + mulched well photo

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before photo of the undersized well + Cutting/removal photos with dust control visible + Finished, expanded + mulched well photo

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: i-Tree canopy / street-tree inventory

Bring

• GPS phone
• DBH tape or measuring tape
• tree ID reference
• camera
• hi-vis vest

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor; record a GPS waypoint at each tree.
2. 2. Photograph each surveyed tree.
3. 3. Record species (best estimate), condition class (good/fair/poor/dead), and DBH (diameter at breast height).
4. 4. Count vacant planting sites.
5. 5. Enter the per-tree records, vacant-site count, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Dead or hazardous tree observed -> flag for the responsible agency (no removal by surveyor).
• High vacant-site count -> recommend a planting plan for the corridor.

What counts as done

• Per-tree species + condition + DBH recorded
• Vacant planting sites counted
• GPS waypoint per tree
• Photo per surveyed tree

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
