The City of La Mirada’s annual Spring Beautification program recognizes the efforts of homeowners, property managers, schools, and businesses to preserve the beauty of the community. Volunteer judges will survey La Mirada between March 26 and April 6, searching for properties that demonstrate exceptional landscaping, exterior maintenance, and overall beauty. Owners of selected properties will be honored at a special awards ceremony on Monday, June 11 at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performance Arts.
To help residents beautify their properties, here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind:
- Trash cans and waste items are to be stored out of public view. Landscaping should include adequate ground coverage throughout the front of the property. Vehicles should be operable and parked properly. Repair chipped or peeling paint or plaster on property structures and fences.
- Do not cut your grass too short. The grass will be more likely to withstand drought and fight off pests and disease.
- Perennials are among the most sustainable plants of the garden. These plants may die back and re-emerge the following year.
Have you recently remodeled the exterior of your home or made major improvements to your landscaping? If so, you may be eligible to be recognized by the City as one of La Mirada’s most improved properties. Homeowners who have recently completed renovations that improved the curb appeal of their property are encouraged to submit an application to be recognized in the “Most Improved” category during the City’s upcoming Spring Beautification
program.
Applications for the Spring Beautification “Most Improved” category are being accepted through Friday, April 6. Applications are available at City Hall, Resource Center, Activity Center, and online at cityoflamirada.org. Applications must include a description of the work completed and “before” and “after” pictures.
