Plant a windbreak row of desert-adapted trees.

Wind is the tax every Lake Los Angeles household pays: it strips topsoil, sandblasts gardens, and drives dust through every door seal. A planted windbreak row of desert-adapted trees and shrubs on an invited lot's windward edge starts cutting that wind within three seasons and holds the soil for good.

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.

How this work is done

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

Steps

1. Lay out the row with the host along the windward property edge, spacing per species.
2. Dig each planting hole twice root-ball width, root-ball deep.
3. Set plants, backfill, and build a deep watering basin with a wind berm on each.
4. Water each in with fifteen gallons and mulch thickly inside the basin.
5. Photograph the completed row from both ends with date and GPS.

What counts as done

• Photo of the laid-out row before planting
• Photos of set plants with basins and berms
• GPS-tagged photo of the finished row from both ends with date

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.
