Convert a strip of nonfunctional public turf to native planting.

Lift or smother one strip of nonfunctional turf on a public median in Los Angeles by hand. Nonfunctional turf is grass nobody walks on, and watering it anyway, forever, is wasteful. Nevada wrote it into law and pays to remove it; most places have the same strips and no program. With the authority's written permission, on a named median, parking island or park edge, loosen the soil, plant regionally native low water species at spacing, mulch, and have the authority's own staff shut off the irrigation for that strip at the zone. Record the square footage and the strip's prior water use so the saving can be counted later. For the payer: - Price: $320 per job, counted in square feet of turf converted. - Likely payer: LADWP rebate programs, paid to the account holder after the program's pre-approval.

Offer to pay $320. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

$320 proposed

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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

written permission + GPS polygon with square footage + before, after photos + species list with counts, spacing + written confirmation the zone is off

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

Start after the crew's safety orientation. Nothing potable is touched: open no pipe, turn no fitting and add no chemical. Work public land with written permission and no license asked, hand tools only, an honored 811 locate first, no herbicide, and never shut a valve or alter irrigation hardware; wear sturdy closed-toe boots and leather-palm gloves; the employer provides drinking water, shade and cool-down rests, and N95 masks when wildfire smoke puts the AQI at 151 or more.

The full safety list for this job:

• This program does not test drinking water; any drinking water question routes to a certified laboratory and the local health department.
• No digging deeper than 12 inches, and never before an honored 811 locate on any strip with unknown utilities.
• The authority's own staff shuts the zone off and confirms it in writing.
• Hi-vis on any road shoulder; work from the sidewalk, park or right-of-way, never in a travel lane.
• Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: sturdy closed-toe boots for shovel and tool strikes on rough ground; leather-palm gloves for thorns, glass and soil contact.
• Wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
• Heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
• Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
