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.
