The parkway, a strip of land between the sidewalk and the road in front of your house, plays a major role in the overall aesthetics of your home. Keeping it clean and well-maintained not only benefits your own property but contributes to a nicer and more comfortable neighborhood. Here are some reasons why maintaining a clean parkway is important:
Curb Appeal
The parkway provides a first impression visitors and passersby have of your home and neighborhood. A well-maintained parkway with trimmed grass and plants, and no litter enhances the curb appeal of the entire street.
Neighborhood
When residents collectively take care of their parkways, it fosters a sense of community pride and unity. A clean, well-kept space set a standard for the neighborhood and encourages others to follow suit. It inspires neighbors to take pride in and contribute to the overall cleanliness and beauty of the area.
Safety and Accessibility
Keeping the area clear of debris, overgrown vegetation, or any other obstacles prevents tripping hazards. It also allows for smoother navigation of strollers, wheelchairs, and bicycles. This promotes a more inclusive neighborhood for all residents.
Environmental and Wellness Benefits
Clean parkways promote environmental health. Regular maintenance, such as removing litter, prevents debris from entering storm drains and polluting local waterways. Beautiful neighborhoods positively impact mental health, reduce stress levels, and foster a sense of pride and belonging. A pleasant parkway strengthens community bonds.
Keep Sidewalk Clear
Keep shrubs and grass properly manicured and don’t allow them grow over the sidewalk. This photo is of a ficus shrub partially blocking a sidewalk. Shrubs and grass need to stop at the property line. When one’s home is properly maintained, your house looks better and the whole neighborhood benefits.
Keeping the area in front of your house maintained leads to a nicer neighborhood on multiple levels. From enhancing curb appeal and neighborhood cohesion to safety, and environmental benefits, a well cared for property sets the tone for a beautiful and harmonious community. By taking care of your property, you play an important role in creating an attractive and welcoming neighborhood for everyone to enjoy.
