September YOM
The Yard of the Month for September is the beautiful property at 707/710 Windbreak Trail owned by Ronnie and Melba Murphy. This double lot expanse is lush with mature magnolias, holly trees and oaks. A variety of evergreen bushes and flowering annuals in the plantings add color and interest. The winding stone pathways and brick walls add to the overall aesthetic appeal of this lovely residence.
August YOM
The August Yard of the Month is 15506 Old Stone Trail. The Lataquin home is a perennial pleasure, with neatly manicured boxwoods lining the sidewalk and cedars flanking the front entrance. The circular beds of shaped greenery are bordered with river rock, and one side of the yard is lush with a thick groundcover. The lone laurel adjacent to the drive will be covered with berries in the fall. The well maintained lawn and the perennial selection complements the home beautifully.
July YOM
The July Yard of the Month is 855 Plainwood. The Kamboj home is a colorful delight. Despite the relentless heat of late, banks of white and pink vincas line the sidewalk and fill the beds, contrasting beautifully with the lush, mature greenery. The addition of a new planting on the front right side promises to be equally lovely.
June YOM
The Yard of the Month for June is 714 Last Arrow. Residents Jake Massel and Braxton Kirwan have created a colorful, multi-textured display of perennials and annuals that show off the interesting hardscape of their property. The added color of patriotic embellishment adds to the overall charm of this creative landscape. Be sure to go by and enjoy this lovely display at 714 Last Arrow.
The Yard of the Month selected for April is Linda and Carl Glaw’s home at 15518 Walkwood Drive. The Glaw's home has had a major update to the exterior and completely new landscape installed in the recent past. The foundation plantings includes roses and azaleas for year round color, flax and agapanthus for perennial flowers, and a large display of dianthus for sparkling color. A large flower laden magnolia tree graces the front along with an elegant house number plaque. Overall, the yard is consistently and immaculately maintained and is a beautiful home in Memorial Thicket.
April YOM
March YOM
Yard of the month belongs to Teresa Caraway at 15511 Old Stone Trail. She recently remodeled the front of the house to expand and 'open up' the porch and entry. Teresa has two majestic crepe myrtle trees framing the steps and short pillars. The shallow dishes are filled with permanent boxwood plants with seasonal plants added for color. The yard is segmented with borders of tall mondo grass. Azaleas provide an additional pop of color. Teresa has added door decorations and chair cushions with pink cowboy boots to celebrate the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
When Teresa answered the door, she was entertaining her 3 and 6 year old granddaughters who were in their Easter dresses for the arrival of the Memorial Thicket Bunny. They made a perfect addition to the spring theme of the yard. The deep green grass with the style of the home conveys a sense of calm and hospitality. Please join us in congratulating Teresa on this award.
