Build a rain garden on Woodland's Yolo Bypass-edge blocks to soak up storm runoff.

The blocks closest to the Yolo Bypass on Woodland's east side send storm runoff straight to already-strained drains every winter. A shallow rain garden planted with native, water-tolerant plants catches that first flush before it reaches the pipe.

Pay

$200 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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Choose a low spot in the yard at least 10 feet from the foundation.
2. Dig a shallow basin roughly 6 inches deep, sloped toward the low point.
3. Line the basin edge with mulch or river rock to slow incoming flow.
4. Plant native, water-tolerant grasses and perennials in the basin.
5. Water the new plantings in thoroughly.
6. Photograph the finished rain garden from two angles.

What counts as done

• GPS pin of site

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Green stormwater infrastructure is the city's way of handling rain the way a meadow does: rain gardens, planted swales, and permeable pavement that let a storm soak in instead of surging down a pipe. The EPA's inspection standard keeps these systems honest, because a neglected rain garden quietly stops working while still looking like a garden. Mastery is the inspector's eye: reading inlets, overflow, plants, and soil in a single practiced pass. This packet is one such inspection, one basin checked and one record filed, which is precisely how a thousand basins stay alive.
