Yard-of-the-Month, is a fun and relatively simple program designed to recognize and reward great looking yards in your neighborhood.  Orange County Neighborhood Services Division encourages residents to keep their neighborhoods clean and attractive and has developed basic guidelines that any neighborhood can use to start a Yard-of-the-Month program. 

• Neighborhood Services staff will attend your neighborhood organization meeting to share information about the program to your entire organization membership
  
• Neighborhood Services will continue to work with a select neighborhood beautification committee, who will establish yard selection criteria
  
• Neighborhood Services will provide the Yard-of-the-Month (or Quarter) recognition sign, the yard nomination forms, and the yard evaluation forms
  
• Your neighborhood organization will also be provided with a sample donation request letter to assist with soliciting prizes for additional rewards for Yard-of-the-Month recipients
