Yard of the Month Program

The purpose of this program is to recognize fellow property owners who have done an exceptional job landscaping their property, and to encourage others to maintain and improve their landscaping.

The program runs during the months of June, July, August, and September. Each month the Landscape Committee selects one property after viewing all yards in the Village. A Yard of the Month sign is placed in the yard for the winning month (after gaining owner approval). The criteria used to determine “exceptional landscaping” includes:

New landscaping

Hardscapes and softscapes count

Curb Appeal

Visibility:

Front or side yards carry more weight than backyards.

For backyard-only improvements, consideration is given to how many people can see the landscape improvements.

Rules

Nominations must be submitted by the 20th of the month prior to the award month (e.g., May 20th for the June award) by email WITH PICTURES.

A winning property must wait two years before becoming eligible again.

Landscape Committee members are not eligible.
