February Yard of the Month
1st Place – 2708 Coxindale
We have a new Yard of the Month for February, 2014: Mimi Raub of 2708 Coxindale. Her yard shows what can be done with fresh pine straw and plantings. Mimi is no stranger to Yard of the Month, having finished first in May of last year. Congratulations Mimi for another first place finish.
Finishing second are Michael and Sheri Farmer of 8524 Averell.
2nd Place – 8524 Averell
Their corner lot always looks great this time of year. In fact, they have a first place finish during each of the last three years. It’s always a treat to see their home as we drive into the neighborhood.
In third are Graham and Alice Kennedy of 8516 Wheeling. Their home always has a neat manicured look, no matter what the season. This is the eleventh time that the Kennedys have placed in the finals in the last two years, having placed first in June of 2012.
Congratulations to each of the homeowners for their consistent quality care they give to their homes and yards and thanks to Larry Deckard and Jamie Visocan who assisted me on the judging panel.
January Yard of the Month
1st Place – 2504 Sugar Maple
It’s a new year and we have a new Yard of the Month! For January we would like to recognize Kimberly Hicks of 2504 Sugar Maple. The vibrant green lawn is testament that North Carolina lawns can look really good in winter. Fresh mulch covers the beds and colorful pansies add the right punch of color. This is the third time that Kimberly has made first place in the last 4 years.
Finishing second are Michael and Sheri Farmer

October Yard of the Month
1st Place – 2816 Coxindale
Harrell and Susan Queen of 2816 Coxindale finished first and are our October Yard of the Month. This is the 7th time the Queens have placed in the finals. They finished second in November of 2012, second in June and July and 3rd in August and September. It seems that their yard always looks perfectly maintained and the flush of the encore azaleas added that needed extra dash of color.
2nd Place – 8508 Wheeling
Finishing a very close second are Bryan and Kristen Maness of 8508 Wheeling. This is their second time placing in the top three and their yard could easily get recognition for most improved. All their work last year in putting down zoysia sod has paid of with a lush carpet of lawn that invites one to nestle into the chairs under the shade of the oaks and pines.
Finishing third are Ed and Jeanne Burtoft at 2704 Coxindale. This is a first time for the Burtofts to join are top three, but probably not the last. The lawn is a lush green crapet punctuated by niclt pruned shrubs and colorful seasonal flowers.
