Plant a shade tree into an existing sidewalk tree pit, a public right-of-way, Seabrook, TX.

An existing sidewalk tree-pit cutout on this Seabrook right-of-way sits empty, leaving the sidewalk with no shade through the humid Gulf Coast summer even though the pit itself was already built for a tree.

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

city-public-works siting confirm + GPS waypoint + before/after photos of root flare at grade + species/pit-dimension record

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 target is an existing open sidewalk tree-pit cutout (no new concrete cutting) with the city public-works department, and photograph the bare pit before planting.
2. 2. Amend the pit's soil per the design mix and clear any debris or compaction from the cutout.
3. 3. Set the tree so the root flare sits at grade within the pit, backfill, and install a root barrier and tree grate or guard where the pit calls for one.
4. 4. Water in thoroughly and photograph the finished planting from the matching before vantage, recording species and pit dimensions.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded confirmation from city public works that the pit is an existing open cutout
• GPS waypoint recorded at the planting site
• Before and after photos showing the root flare visible at grade within the pit
• Species recorded, favoring a native Gulf Coast shade species suited to a street-tree pit

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Urban Canopy. Urban canopy is the layer of leaves over a city, and it is infrastructure as surely as the pipes below the street: shade that cools a block in a heat wave, roots that drink a storm. The i-Tree protocol turns it into something you can count, tree by tree, so a city knows what it has and what it is losing. Mastery looks like a person who can read a whole street's trees at a walk. This packet is a piece of that census: a few trees observed carefully and recorded where the record counts.
