Yard of the Month


Whiffletree is well known for our many responsible and caring homeowners and their beautifully maintained yards! Five winners are selected each year during the spring and summer months, and a banner is displayed in the yard of the winner.  We also select 2 homes for exceptional holiday decorations in December.  Each of the winners is awarded a $100 gift certificate from Shades of Green Nursery in Frisco.  Our beautification committee members (neighborhood volunteers) are already scoping the neighborhood and making notes on their top picks.
