Expand the undersized tree well one block south on Wells Avenue (2026-07-20)

A young street tree one block south on Wells Avenue is boxed into a tree well too small for its root spread, which will stunt or kill it within a few seasons. Expanding the well now protects the canopy investment already made on this block. Standard: LBC Place Petal, urban canopy imperative Proof: Photo of the expanded well plus the new dimensions logged. Method (LBC Place Petal, urban canopy imperative): 1. Mark out the expanded pit boundary around the existing tree well. 2. Remove the old curbing or edging and set new edging at the larger boundary. 3. Loosen and amend the newly opened soil with compost. 4. Mulch the full expanded well 2 to 3 inches deep, clear of the trunk. 5. Water the tree well in and photograph the finished expansion. Done when: Photo of the expanded well plus the new dimensions logged.

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.
