Congratulations to our October 2011 winners!

Steven and Lauren Hensley at 108 Gallagher Drive

Steven and Lauren did a great job decorating for the fall.

We at the Garden Club would like to thank  the recipients for all the hard work they have put into their yards.  They give us all something to strive for.

True Value no longer sponsors our Curb Appeal Home of the Month.

The objective of this award is to inspire pride in Polk Place Neighborhood.  A well-cared for neighborhood draws buyers’ and visitors’ attention, and drives up house prices. Care of our properties is an important price determinant when selling a home. According to a study by Clemson University and the University of Michigan, consumers value a landscaped home up to 11.3% higher than its base price, as reported in Smart Money magazine.
Come on y’all . Put on your gloves and take up the challenge.
