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 and after photos of the tree pit plus a GPS tag matching the tree location.

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. Clear compacted soil, trash, and weeds from the tree pit down to bare earth.
2. Loosen the top few inches of soil around the root zone without disturbing roots.
3. Add a layer of compost or fresh topsoil to the pit.
4. Install or repair the tree grate or guard if the pit has one.
5. Water the tree well and photograph the finished pit.

What counts as done

• before photo
• after photo
• GPS location tag
• written note on compost volume added

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Street Tree Pit Restoration. A street tree lives its whole life in a few square feet of ground, and that small square decides everything. Tree pit restoration is the young-tree care the arborists' standards prescribe: loosen the trampled soil, clear the trash and the weeds, lay mulch like a blanket but keep it off the bark, check the trunk for wounds and forgotten ties. Mastery looks like a block where every young tree is visibly thriving. This packet is one pit brought back properly. A city's canopy is grown one small square at a time.
