Fall 2014 Landscape Award

Our selection for Fall 2014 goes to Josue Saravia and his wife Maria Herrarte who reside at 409 Troon Circle.  This property poses quite a challenge because it is cited on the corner with West Tantallon Drive.  The 'front of the house' is on Troon Circle but the homeowners had to pay just as much attention to the side and the rear of the house.  In fact, what really impressed the judges was that all aspects of the home have been beautifully enhanced and maintained throughout this past summer.  The selection of plant material is both suitable for the site and aesthetically pleasing because it does not dominate the building.  Mature trees provide a backdrop for the property.  The lot has a considerable slope in the back which has been artfully contained by a wrought iron fence and a retaining wall.  The landscaping is well maintained and definitely an attribute to the property.
Maria Herrarte and her mother, Maria Martinez, are the gardeners here while husband, Josue, readily admits that he just mows the grass.  But, there is a considerable amount of lawn area here being on a corner lot and his lawn is healthy and well manicured.  We congratulate the whole family for having a beautiful property on a prominent corner in Tantallon.
Honorable Mention goes to 1308 Swan Creek Road for continued maintenance to their property which underwent a complete transformation in 2007 and received our award at that time.
