2023 Yard Beautification Winners

We are thrilled to announce the victors of the 2023 Yard Beautification Contest. Join us in extending hearty congratulations to the residents of 122 Callibluff, 174 Hewitt, and 113 Phillips Park. These standout homeowners have set a remarkable standard in Carnes Crossroads by devoting themselves to enhancing the curb appeal of their outdoor spaces.

Through their ingenuity and dedication, these residences have turned their yards into breathtaking showcases. Not only have they enriched their own homes, but they've also inspired the entire neighborhood to elevate their surroundings.

In honor of their exceptional achievements, each winner will receive a $50 gift card as a token of our appreciation. Moreover, we're presenting them with a beautiful wreath to symbolize the award they can proudly display on their front door.

Let's pause to celebrate the devotion demonstrated by the winners of the 2023 Yard Beautification Contest. May their yards inspire us to prepare for the next yard beautification award.

Sponsored by CCNA and POA.

122 Callibluff

I have enjoyed gardening since I was very young. My grandfather was a farmer and he taught me many gardening skills. The best thing that I have done is to install a drip irrigated system. I can water every plant in my yard by using this system. It can be activated wherever I am at any time through the WiFi system. This takes the burden of daily watering away. It's amazing how technology can help our lives. The system is easy to set up and is not expensive. My wife enjoys the benefits of this. She is out in the yard cutting Zinnias all summer. Thank you to the judges for this honor.
