Greenspace & Beautification

A committee whose purpose is to preserve and protect the neighborhood’s greenspaces, including parks, walkways and trails; to encourage greenspace initiatives along commercial corridors and public rights-of-way. The Greenspace and Beautification Committee is charged with finding the ways and means to improve our community Gateways and Greenspaces. 

The Greenspace Committee has been fortunate to collaborate with local landscape design and installation firm, Dragonfly Landscape & Water Gardens, who planned a design to fit, not only the neighborhood association's budget, but also the conditions of the property.  Chuck White and Autumn Schwab, owners of Dragonfly, have a wonderful reason for volunteering that is simple and clear, “We’ve lived in this community for over a decade and the Heights corridor means a lot to us.”

In 2016 the committee targeted the non-profit American Legion Post 111 property for a community improvement project intended to brighten our northern gateway and also support our local veterans.  On Saturday, December 3, 2016, over 250 plants, 7 crape myrtle trees, 1000+ feet of water saving drip irrigation, and close to 200 bags of shredded mulch were installed by over 30 volunteers under the supervision of the Dragonfly owners. Together we created a beautiful landscape for our local American Legion. “A lot of people showed up, worked hard, learned quickly, and had a ton of fun. It was an emotionally uplifting day, and the project turned out beautifully,” said Autumn Schwab. The entire project was completed in about 4 hours.
