Mark a zone of spent perennial stems to be excluded from fall cutback for stem-nesting bees, a resident's own home, Farmersville, TX.

This resident cuts every flower bed to the ground each November the same week the leaves get raked, without knowing the dead bee-balm and rudbeckia stems headed for the yard-waste bag are the same stems several native bee species need standing through winter to finish developing inside. Flagging a section of the bed to skip this year's cutback and getting the resident's written agreement to leave it standing is the entire job -- no cutting, no building.

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 + zone marked + species/dimensions recorded + written ask delivered + 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. Walk the bed with the owner or manager at the end of the growing season and identify a stand of spent, pithy or hollow-stemmed perennials (coneflower, bee balm, ironweed, bramble canes, or similar) that would normally be included in fall cutback -- photograph the stand as found, uncut.
2. 2. Confirm with the owner, manager, or grounds crew that this specific stand will be excluded from fall cutback and left standing through winter, and mark its boundary with low corner stakes or flags.
3. 3. Deliver a written note to the owner, manager, or grounds crew stating the ask in plain terms: leave these marked stems standing, uncut, through winter and into spring; exclude this zone from fall cleanup, leaf blowing, and mowing.
4. 4. Record the stem species present and the marked zone's dimensions.
5. 5. Photograph the finished, marked, still-uncut zone from the same before vantage.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the spent stem stand, uncut
• Zone marked with corner stakes or flags, photographed
• Stem species present and zone dimensions recorded
• Confirmation the written leave-standing note was delivered to the owner, manager, or grounds crew
• After photo confirming the zone was excluded from that season's fall cutback

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
