The 2023 Collington Yard of the Month, and Collington Lawn of the Month season has begun! From May through October, one Collington address will be chosen for each category. Each recipient will receive a $25 Lowes gift card as a “Thank You" gift for keeping our neighborhood looking its best.

The May Yard of the Month:
Tony and Tammie Bond
8807 Lavenham Loop
The Bonds try to keep their property maintained as organically as possible, using products from Espoma and neem oil to control insects.

May 2023 Lawn of the Month:

Ronald Archer
14025 Ashmill Drive
Mr. Archer maintains everything himself, utilizing concepts his dad taught him long ago. He alternates the direction he mows in each time, fertilizes every 2 months with Scott’s products, uses weed killer 3x per year, adds Milorganite, aerates and seeds yearly, and waters the lawn 3x a week for 1/2 hour each time.

December Holiday Decorations

Collington Holiday Festive House

Kelly McMillen and Cody Mayhew of 11306 Longtown Dr (Longtown section) are the Collington Holiday House Festive Award Winners for 2022.  They have lived in Collington for four and a half years and just love Christmas and the holidays.  Once their decorating process begins it takes them about 45 hours to complete, but the job is never really done.  They love to add new things as they find them.

Their house eves are decked out with red and white lights, while strings of white lights cover their roof and surround the windows. They have inflatables of all shapes and sizes including a monsterous Santa Claus, Nutcracker, and Snowman. Lights adorn the perimeter of their yard to help see all of their hard work.

Collington Holiday Classic House

​Jon and Beth Frankenfield of 11019 Collington Dr. (Tealby section) are the Collington Holiday House Classic Award Winners for 2022.  They have lived in Collington for 6 years. This year their kids asked for color instead of their typical all white lights and icicles. But they maintained the general aesthetic (simple lines and clean look). They took the time to test all the strands, measure everything, and figure out where each strand should go on the house. Once they had a general plan, they rented a boom lift and started the process of putting up the lights. It took most of the day to get the lights across the peaks and roofline using the lift. Then used a tall ladder for the windows and lights down the verticals. Their porch and mailbox are covered with pre-lit garland that can change color. Many extension cords later (of which figuring out the best way to run them all was one of the biggest hurdles) and the house was done. Overall, it takes several days to get everything up, but it's worth the time in the end to see the house lit up - you can see their house as soon as you turn onto Collington Drive entering Tealby.

All of their house lines including windows are outlined in simple strings of colored lights. The bushes in the front and the sidewalk are adorned with colored lights. This is a great throwback to when string lights were first becoming available to the masses and were available in a variety of colors.

Lawn of the Month - Ty and Mo Reese 100212 Lavenham Turn

What a gorgeous, thick lawn! Ty works hard to achieve such perfection. He keeps the mower deck at 5 inches to keep the lawn healthy—any shorter and the lawn would be prone to disease. He also does not bag his grass clippings, instead mulching them into the lawn when he mows weekly. He also sets his sprinklers to go off before the sun rises, in order to allow the water to sink into the roots. Ty avoids watering during the day to prevent the water droplets from burning the grass. He hires a lawn company to handle the fertilization schedule.

Yard of the Month - Shakil Rehman 14100 Hockliffe Lane

This beautiful landscaping belongs to Shakil Rehman. What a lovely combination of roses, hostas , crape myrtles, a precisely trimmed evergreens. Thank you for keeping Collington looking great, Shakil!

July Yard and Lawn of the Month

7/31/2022

0 Comments

 
Collington is now awarding both a Yard of the Month AND a Lawn of the Month prize to 2 lucky recipients monthly from May to October. Each recipient will receive a $25 gift card to Lowes, recognition on the Collington HOA fb page, and a sign in their yard for a month proclaiming their winning status.

Yard of the Month=Jerry Whitaker of 9900 Brading Lane.

Jerry had been creating beautiful flowerbeds for 15 years at this location. When he first moved in, he dug up all the clay and replaced it with a garden soil mixture. It has been a love affair with plants ever since! He grows many different varieties of roses, vincas, asiatic lilies, gardenias, dahlias, azaleas, and his personal favorite, white calla lilies. He attributes his success to trial and error, and Miracle Gro, applied anywhere between weekly and monthly, depending on plant needs. He is now sharing his love of plants with his grandchildren, who like to help him in the garden. Thank you, Jerry, for helping to make Collington beautiful!

July Lawn of the Month = Weldon & Karen King, and Kimberly Saunders of 14424 Parracombe Lane

The July Lawn of the Month goes to Weldon King, Karen King, and Kimberly Saunders of 14424 Parracombe Lane. Even with all the July heat, they have managed to keep their lawn looking lush, green, and inviting. Weldon only uses a battery mower, set at the highest deck setting (estimated about 4”). The lawn is mowed once a week, and the edges trimmed with a weed eater. They have a lawn service for feeding and aeration. In addition to their lovely front lawn, they have also created a lush area in their back yard, with a green swath of lawn, undulating borders filled with  statuary, hibiscus and crape myrtle, all overlooking the golf course. What a tranquil oasis!

    Yard & Lawn of the Month

    The three main criteria used to evaluate residential properties for the Yard of The Month are:
     
    1) Overall turf health. Is the yard being properly nourished and irrigated, and does it show a nice balance of green.

    ​2) Shrub maintenance and grooming (shaping versus shaggy)

    3) Color. Are colorful
    flowers being used to enhance the overall curb appeal of the property.
