May Yard of the Month
1st place – 2504 Sugar Maple
Yard of the Month for May is awarded to Kimberly Hicks of 2504 Sugar Maple. The colorful spring flowers, manicured shrubs, fresh coating of mulch and rich green lawn all combine to show what you can do with a small yard.
When you look at Kimberly’s yard, notice that it is debuting the newly refurbished Alyson Pond Yard of the Month Sign.
Runner up for May are Mike and Sophie Matysiak of 8504 Wheeling. The lawn looks just great and the punch of spring flowers and pruned shrubs add to the neat and trim appearance. A first-time runner up, we look forward to enjoying this yard through the summer.
2nd place – 8504 Wheeling
Finishing third is the home of Cindy Perry of 8308 Yucca.

November Yard of the Month
We have a winner for Yard of the Month! Taking top prize for November are Michael and Tracey Patnesky of 8508 Bluebill. Coming in a close second was Paul and Marie Stowers of 2505 Coxindale and Jonathan and Gina Kinlaw of 2905 Funster finished third. As the neighborhood steadily improves in appearance, it is getting more and more difficult to pick a winner. Said panelist Bill Pappas, “you could have a had a couple on Bluebill alone!”
Patnesky Home - 8505 Bluebill
So we are happy to announce the second and third place finishers and commend the neighborhood overall as well.
Judging was based on five criteria: a healthy green lawn, properly pruned trees and shrubs, mulched and weed-free beds, seasonal color in flowers and foliage and a clean, clutter-free general appearance.
Thank you to our judging panel — Jennifer Magee, Bill Pappas and Mimi Raub and congratulations to the Patnesky household for a job well done.
