Plant a shade tree.

The bus-stop plaza on this corridor bakes riders in full sun through every Texas summer afternoon with no canopy at all; planting a right-sized tree into the plaza's bare planting well fixes that at the exact spot where people wait the longest.

Pay

$380 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.

Proof

before/after photos + species confirmed + 811 locate confirmed + 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.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the planting well location with the transit agency or city and call 811 before any digging.
2. 2. Photograph the bare planting well before starting.
3. 3. Dig the planting hole to the container's root-ball depth (not deeper), set the tree with the root flare at grade, and backfill firmly.
4. 4. Water the new planting in thoroughly and mulch a 2-3 inch ring pulled back from the trunk.
5. 5. Photograph the finished planting from the matching before vantage.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare planting well
• After photo of the planted, mulched, watered-in tree
• Species planted and 811 locate confirmation recorded

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Tree Planting and Establishment. Planting a tree properly is a codified craft, and the arborists' standards are blunt about why: most young trees that die were killed at planting, by a hole dug too deep, a root ball left bound, a first summer without water. Mastery looks like trees you planted years ago still standing, which is the only measure arborists accept. The craft lives in exactly the steps this packet asks for: the wide shallow hole, the freed roots, the mulch kept off the trunk, the watering that follows. Plant one tree correctly and you know something real.
