September: Adam Travis, 617 Lockwood

From the Homeowner:

“Thank you very much for the opportunity to be the Heights Park Yard of the Month for September. When I was about 13 years old, I started a little mowing business and have enjoyed working in the yard ever since. After moving into the house in 2009, I immediately began work on improving the landscaping. Over the past few years I have put in landscaping around the trees, rearranged the existing plants, and included some new additions such as caladiums, begonias, and knock out rose bushes. My next project is to add some flower beds and a patio in the back yard. I enjoy having people over, especially in the fall for football, so I feel like I am always working on something to make the house look even better. I have loved living in Heights Park and getting to know my neighbors the last 4 years. Thank you again for recognizing my hard work!”

August: Rick & Debby Kimball, 722 Winchester

From the Homeowner:

“Thank you so much for dropping by last week and letting us know we’ve been chosen August Yard of the Month. We have totally re-done the front of our home and yard. Began working on the plans August 2012. What started with some landscape stone turned into multiple gardens and lots of experimentation with different plants and local advice for the varieties of foliage that thrive here in North Texas. Our home has a wonderful view of the park, and has terrific opportunities to visit with neighbors. Our next project includes a water feature, and those plans are in progress. We love this area and are keen on the many projects for beautification. All our best to you and & the Neighborhood Association. Richardson is such a great place to call home.”
