Yard of the Month Policy
Pinehills Neighborhood Association Yard of the Month Contest Guidelines:
PURPOSE OF THE YARD OF THE MONTH PROGRAM
The Pine Hills Neighborhood Association is dedicated to improving the quality of living and appearance of our community. We encourage residents to take pride in their homes and neighborhood. In turn, we look to celebrate those who do a superior job in maintaining their yards in such a way that they enhance the overall curb appeal of the entire community. Yards of the Month are awarded at the beginning of each calendar month. Yards are judged on neatness, landscaping and color. All yards are eligible. If you feel your or someone else’s yard is being overlooked, please send an e-mail with your name, address & phone number, or the name, address, and phone number of the yard/family you are recommending. We will get out at the first of the month to check their yard for the next month's award. Please send your emails to chebs1@aol.com or kimmerossie@aol.com
GENERAL INFORMATION AND QUALIFICATIONS
-Award winners are selected based on the recommended judging criteria listed below.
-Recipients must reside in Pine Hills.
-Key criteria include manicured yard, beautification, originality and creativity.
-The upkeep of the yard can reflect the efforts of the residents themselves or that of a professional landscaper or groundskeeper.
-An award duration term lasts a single calendar month.
-The same property cannot receive more than one award in the same rolling 6 month calendar period. At least 6 months must elapse between awards for the same yard.
-Recipients receiving awards in the middle of the month shall surrender their award at the end of that same month.
-While an individual's home is being recognized as a Pine Hills "Yard of the Month" they are expected to maintain their yard in the same manner that allowed them to win the title.
-Winners may be disqualified if their property is in violation of any city regulations.
- Beginning in 2014, a Yard of the Month winner will not be chosen during the winter, specifically between the months of November through March.
GENERAL AND SPECIFIC JUDGING CRITERIA
Pine Hills Yard of the Month candidates are judged solely on the total exterior appearance of their property and front yard as viewed from the street. General upkeep of the yard and property is paramount. Factors include the overall appearance, tidiness and neatness of the front of the property as evidenced by pruned, trimmed and shaped foliage, edged and defined lawns, borders & flower beds, and a visually appealing facade.
LAWN: Healthy grass with no bare spots or excessive weeds. Grass shall be mowed and edged, and grass around foundations and fences shall be trimmed. Debris (garbage, pet feces, etc.) shall be picked up and removed. A unified, simple and balanced landscape design. Neat and natural.
LANDSCAPE & FLOWER BEDS: Beds weeded and edged. Flowers deadheaded and dead plants removed. Trees and shrubs pruned. Natural areas cleaned. Beautification efforts including new flowers, new trees, new shrubs, etc. Plantings in scale with the surroundings and limited to a few different types of plants rather than too many which may confuse the eye.
WALKWAYS & DRIVEWAYS: Walkways and driveways shall be clean (including trash containers or yard products removed from view). Area in front of curb free from debris and dirt.
AESTHETICS: Overall look of landscaping (formal versus informal, use of color and textures, garden art). Inviting look of front entryway (hanging baskets, pots, cleanliness etc.) Originality/creativity (any special touches of the owner i.e., yard art, bird feeders, etc.)
Summary note: While lack of strict adherence to the criteria above does not necessarily result in a disqualification, these principles offer general guidelines that should be recognized by the Pine Hills Yard of the Month program.
