Front Entrance Improvement


Thanks to Steve Tronnes and the Beautification Committee for painting the front entrance sign so that it is much more visible.
Stay tuned for other improvements to the front entrance. If you would like to join the Beautification Committee or have suggestions for the front entrance, e-mail the HOA at hoasouthridge@gmail.com . We are open to productive suggestions as to the type of plants, flowers, etc.
NOTE: The comments section is open to all, but an anonymous comment will not allow any follow up and usually will not be posted. We'd like to follow up, so leave your name or e-mail the HOA. Thanks.

South Ridge Yard of the Month Award!



The South Ridge Homeowner’s Association strives to improve the quality of living and appearance of our neighborhood. We encourage residents to take pride in their homes and our community. We want to recognize those residents who excel in maintaining their yards in such a way that they contribute to the overall curb appeal of the entire neighborhood. Yards of the month are awarded at the beginning of the months of May through August. In keeping with the spirit of the holidays, we will also recognize a house in both October and December that displays the most festive decorations.

Contest Guidelines:

1. Criteria:
a. Yard Maintenance
1. Healthy yard, neatly mowed and edged
2. Pruned and trimmed shrubs and trees
3. Healthy plants
4. Minimum weeds in flower beds
5. Yard free of debris and clutter

b. Design and Landscaping
1. Creative, unique curb appeal
2. Overall aesthetic appeal

2. One home per month will be selected during the months of May through August.

3. One home will be selected during the months of October and December around the 10th of the month. These selected homes will display the most festive, holiday décor for the month of their selection.

4. Each yard will be limited to winning the award only once in any calendar year.

5. Only the front yards, as viewed from the street, will be judged. Backyards will not be considered.

6. Only authentic plants will be considered, no artificial plants.

7. Current Board Members and voting members of the Beautification Committee are not eligible.

8. Members of the South Ridge Beautification Committee will judge, determine, and select the Yard of the Month winners prior to the award being given.

10. While an individual’s home is being recognized as South Ridge’s “Yard of the Month”, they are expected to maintain their yard in the same manner that allowed them to win the title.
