How this work is done

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

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the right of way segment is public land and photograph the bare margin before starting, staying set back from the traveled roadway.
2. 2. Hand dig planting holes with hand tools only, no power equipment, set back from the traveled roadway on the public right of way.
3. 3. Hand plant a native shrub windbreak row (four wing saltbush, sand sagebrush, mesquite) along the right of way margin.
4. 4. Hand mulch around the new plantings and photograph the planted row from the matching before vantage, recording species and plant count.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare right of way margin
• Confirmation only hand tools were used, planting stayed set back from the traveled roadway on public land
• Native species and plant count recorded
• After photo of the planted windbreak row from the matching vantage

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.
