The July/August YOM was awarded to Brian & Courtney Heinz at 6310 Fair Valley Trail. At the peak of our summer heat, this yard was and is still attractive with its heat-tolerant plants and an inexpensive, but very effective, drip irrigation system that provides moisture every 6 days! After moving into the Fair Valley home a little over a year ago, Brian went to work removing the existing landscape, laying flagstone in crushed granite, creating a large patio in front of the house as well as two walkways from the sidewalk to house. They are looking for the right fire pit to add to the patio soon! Brian & Courtney wanted to create a low-maintenance yard as they stay busy with their two boys: Gavin, a 6th grader, and Greyson, a 4th grader. Shrubs in the yard include Sage, Japanese Yew, and Yucca. Other heat tolerant plants include Prickly Pear spineless cactus, Agave, Bulbine and more.
The family received gift cards totaling $120 from our four generous sponsors: Leaf Landscape, Klingemann’s Auto Care, Flores Mexican Food Restaurant and D’Lites Ice Cream. Westcreek appreciates the support from these businesses in our neighborhood!
