Brownstown residents have some of the finest looking yards Downriver. Why not show yours off by entering the Brownstown “Yard of the Month” competition? The “Yard of the Month” contest is a way of recognizing those residents who go above and beyond in maintaining their property.
For the months of June through September, members of the Beautification/Historical Commission will select nominated yards the best reflect “curb appeal” that include the following criteria:
Maintenance
- Lawns should be healthy, neatly mowed and edged
- Trees and shrubs pruned and trimmed
- Planting should be healthy

Winners will receive a special “Yard of the Month” sign to display in their yard, have their yard featured in photos on the Township website, and receive a $25 gift certificate courtesy of Ruhlig Farms and Gardens...and get bragging rights!
To enter the contest, you must nominate your property. Just email a photo of your yard in all its glory, along with your name, address and phone number to mmaxe@wdl.net.
