Beautification Committee

The Beautification Committee's purpose is to plan, design, implement and maintain all green spaces within the Garden Oaks Subdivision. Green spaces in our subdivision include the following areas:

Rose Garden - Lawrence at West 34th

Esplanade - Garden Oaks Blvd. Between Shepherd and Sue Barnett

Gazebo Park - Sue Barnett at West 42nd

Triangle Park - Alba and Azalea

Art Park * - Sue Barnett at West 43rd

Friendship Park ** - Lawrence at West 30th

Future Park - Durham at West 30th

* City of Houston Park (name) -City provides mowing
** Responsibility of Garden Oaks Garden Club

The above green spaces are all of our "backyards." The maintenance and responsibility to keep these spaces beautiful is shared by all of us who live in Garden Oaks. Like your own yards, it takes a lot of work and resources to keep our green spaces beautiful. All of this work is provided by Garden Oaks resident volunteers, except routine lawn mowing. Scheduled work days are held for each green space throughout the year. These work days are usually held on Saturday mornings and are a great opportunity to make our neighborhood shine and to meet your neighbors. These work days are fun and make you feel proud of Garden Oaks. Typical maintenance includes planting annuals, mulching, weeding, pruning trees/shrubs, repairing sprinkler systems, and painting. Please come out the next time we have a work day, everyone is welcome!

Cleaning and picking up trash in our neighborhood is all of our responsibility. When you see litter, do not assume that someone else will pick it up. Remember we all have a common interest to keep Garden Oaks Beautiful. Should you have any ideas and/or suggestions or want to be on the Beautification Committee, please call Brenda & Ed de Alba, committee chairs at 713 694 5934 or e-mail them.
