YoM July 2020

The Yard of the Month for July is the home of Clayton and Laci Smith at 5408 Wolf Run.
Clayton and Laci and their dog, Boo Bear have been part of our neighborhood for five years and enjoy the convenience, location, and neighbors of Westcreek.
Laci and Clayton were inspired by walking the neighborhood to see the native plants others had included in their landscaping and set a goal of creating a low maintenance yard utilizing plants of varying heights and textures. Living with Austin’s water restrictions lead them to a decision to xeriscape. Working with Leaf Landscape Supply, they selected native plants – Blackfoot daisies, a selection of grasses, artemisia, bottle brush, ocotillo, and Santa Rita Prickly pear. Two new trees were added, a burr oak and desert willow. They installed hardscape using a combination of decomposed granite, Oklahoma Pecan patio stone, and river rock. Other features include the planter of succulents by their front walk and the driftwood Clayton found on a hike that was added to the front bed.
They enjoy taking care of their yard and see it as a form of beauty they can shape and care for as it fills in and matures. Along with the recognition as Yard of the Month, they receive gift certificates from Leaf Landscape, Klingemann’s Car Care Center, D’Lites Ice Cream , and Cypress Grill.
Drive by, see the sign for Yard of the Month, and enjoy the creativity and hard work they have poured into their yard!

Jodis is active in the PTA and the Booster Club. They both enjoy working in their yard and it shows!
Their rockwork flower bed in their front yard is one of their favorite features. It is filled with colorful plants like firecracker ferns, native grasses, and blooming shrubs . A large sago palm graces a bed by their front driveway. The greenery, rockwork, and large tree make for a green and well-manicured space!

Westcreek neighbors –
There seems to be a lot of creativity going on in the yards in Westcreek! Did you know that your Neighborhood Association helps to celebrate your hard work and the beauty and creativity you are bringing to our neighborhood?
