Replace high-flammability shrubs with firewise native planting at a resident's own home on the corridor, home 3, resident homes along the N Temple Drive / Park Street corridor, Diboll, TX 75941 (own-home) (2026-07-24)

This home's foundation planting includes resinous, high-flammability shrubs sitting inside the defensible-space zone, in a piney-woods town surrounded by pine forest where a wildland fire is a real seasonal risk. Standard: NFPA 1144 / Firewise USA structure-ignition-zone defensible-space assessment and vegetation management (Zone 0 0-5ft, Zone 1 5-30ft, Zone 2 30-100ft), applied here to a home in the piney-woods wildland-urban interface surrounding Diboll. Entry rung is documentation-only or occupant-safe ground-level work from a safe vantage; hands-on vegetation clearing with power tools near structures/slopes is licensed or credentialed-crew work only. SDG 11.b resilience.

Entry rung is documentation-only or occupant-safe ground-level work from a safe vantage; hands-on vegetation clearing with power tools near structures/slopes is licensed or credentialed-crew work only. SDG 11.b resilience.): 1. 1. Walk the home's defensible-space zone with the resident and identify high-flammability shrubs (resinous, oily, or dense evergreen species) within 5 to 30 feet of the structure, photographing them before removal. 2. 2. Remove the identified high-flammability shrubs by hand or with hand tools, staying clear of the foundation and any utility line. 3. 3. Plant a low-flammability native replacement species (broadleaf, high-moisture-content, well-spaced) in the cleared area at the design spacing. 4. 4. Water in the new planting and photograph the finished defensible-space zone from the matching before vantage, recording species removed and installed. Done when: homeowner/resident-permission record + before/after photos + species removed/installed record + GPS

$150 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.

Proof

homeowner/resident-permission record + before/after photos + species removed/installed record + GPS

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 45–90 minutes. Method of record: NFPA 1144 / Firewise USA structure-ignition-zone defensible-space assessment — documentation-only from a safe public/yard vantage

Bring

• camera with zoom
• GPS-capable phone
• tape measure or pace-count reference
• Firewise USA zone checklist
• field notebook

Steps

1. 1. Document only — photograph Zone 0 (0-5 ft from the structure), Zone 1 (5-30 ft) and Zone 2 (30-100 ft) from the driveway or yard edge; never enter dense brush or approach a structurally questionable outbuilding.
2. 2. Note vegetation type, spacing and ladder-fuel presence (brush touching tree canopy) in each zone from the safe vantage.
3. 3. Photograph the roof material, gutters, vents, and any firewood or combustible material stacked against the structure.
4. 4. Compile the zone-by-zone findings into a defensible-space checklist naming what a licensed/credentialed vegetation-management crew should clear first; never clear, cut, or move anything during this survey.

If it does not match the plan

• Any combustible material (mulch, firewood, dry vegetation) touching the structure in Zone 0 -> flag as highest-priority clearing item.
• Ladder fuel (brush contacting tree canopy) found in Zone 1 -> flag for a credentialed crew's thinning pass.
• Any structurally unstable or fire-damaged outbuilding observed -> do not approach; note location only and route to the local fire authority.

What counts as done

• Photo set covering all three ignition zones from a safe, named vantage point
• Roof/gutter/combustible-storage condition photographed
• Zone-by-zone checklist compiled naming the follow-on clearing job

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
