Plant street trees in the Excelsior's surveyed empty basins

The survey maps the gaps; this job fills them. Every tree planted in an Excelsior parkway strip moves San Francisco's least-canopied neighborhood one basin closer to the shade the rest of the city takes for granted — over sidewalks that families, elders, and D-line riders use all day. Standard: SF Public Works street-tree planting standards; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Proof: Planting-sequence photos plus species log Method (SF Public Works street-tree planting standards; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).): 1. Confirm approved sites and species from the survey with the city or host program. 2. Call 811 utility locate and dig each hole twice the root-ball width at planting depth. 3. Set root flare at grade, backfill, water in with 15 gallons, stake loosely. 4. Build a 3-inch mulch basin clear of the trunk. 5. Photograph each planted tree with address context and log species. Done when: Planting-sequence photos plus species log

Pay

$340 proposed

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.

Planting-sequence photos plus species log

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.
