Relocate curb-swept leaf litter to mulch a newly planted public rain garden, Hutto, TX.

This subdivision's curb-cut rain garden was planted this season and still has bare soil around every plant, while the street sweeper that services the block ahead of it stages a fresh windrow of leaf litter at the curb every pass. Diverting that staged litter into the rain garden as mulch instead of leaving it for the sweeper truck gives the new plantings the moisture-holding, weed-suppressing layer they need to establish.

You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

before photo of the staged curb-swept litter + before photo of the bare rain-garden soil + after photo of the mulched rain garden with inlet/overflow clear + GPS

How this work is done

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

Steps

1. 1. Confirm with the public-works or parks crew that the leaf litter is already swept and staged at the curb ahead of the sweeper truck -- this task starts from that staged material, it does not sweep or clear the curb itself -- and check it for trash, glass, or roadway debris; reject any load that fails.
2. 2. Photograph the staged curb litter and the bare, unmulched soil around the new rain-garden plantings.
3. 3. Hand-carry the litter to the rain garden and spread it as a 2-3 inch layer around the new plantings, pulled back from each stem.
4. 4. Confirm the layer does not block the rain garden's inlet or overflow point.
5. 5. Photograph the finished, mulched rain garden from the matching before vantage.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the leaf litter staged at the curb ahead of the sweeper truck
• Before photo of the bare, unmulched soil around the new rain-garden plantings
• After photo of the rain garden mulched 2-3 inches deep, inlet and overflow point left clear

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.
