Yard of the Month

Planting Inspiration & Making Denton More Beautiful

Yard of the Month recognizes Denton citizens who contribute to the overall aesthetics and health of our city by maintaining exceptionally clean and beautiful properties. Nominations for the program are open to the public from March through November of each year, and our volunteer judges recognize a winning yard from a different category as "Yard of the Month" from all over Denton with our signature yard signs.
