The City of Park Ridge and the Park Ridge Garden Club co-sponsored the 34th Annual Residential Beautification Awards Contest for all residents in the City of Park Ridge. The contest recognizes residents of free-standing, single-family homes who have made their homes and landscaping the most attractive in our city.
Five winners will each receive $100 and a 1-year honorary membership from the Garden Club along with a lawn sign provided by the City of Park Ridge. Prizes are awarded by the Mayor at a City Council meeting in August.
Judging is done of the street view portion of the property by Landscape Design Consultants from the Garden Clubs of Illinois. The following standards for evaluating the landscape design were used:
- Year-round overall appearance - visible address numbers, maintained paved areas, condition of buildings
- Design - color, layout, originality, beauty, special features
- Lawn condition - maintenance, quality of turf or ground covering used as substitute for turf
- Perennials, trees, shrubs - condition of plant material, proportion and scale of plant material to structures
- Flowers and other annual plantings - variety, color, condition
