Mulch the bare tree wells and parkway strips on North Hills apartment blocks.

The tree wells along North Hills' apartment corridors bake bare and hard, stressing the few street trees the blocks have. A three-inch mulch cap across a block's wells holds water for the trees and cools the root zone, with no digging and no irrigation required.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photos per covered surface

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.

Steps

1. Photograph every bare well and strip on the assigned block.
2. Lay mulch three inches deep over each surface without disturbing soil, clear of trunk flares.
3. Rake edges tidy and off sidewalks.
4. Water lightly to settle.
5. Photograph each covered surface with date and GPS.

What counts as done

• Before photos of at least five bare surfaces
• After photos of the same surfaces
• GPS-tagged block photo with date

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Urban Canopy. Urban canopy is the layer of leaves over a city, and it is infrastructure as surely as the pipes below the street: shade that cools a block in a heat wave, roots that drink a storm. The i-Tree protocol turns it into something you can count, tree by tree, so a city knows what it has and what it is losing. Mastery looks like a person who can read a whole street's trees at a walk. This packet is a piece of that census: a few trees observed carefully and recorded where the record counts.
