Celebrating the 2025 Winners
The Lawn & Garden Awards Committee celebrates the beauty and pride of homeownership in St. Louis Hills by recognizing residents for their exceptional landscaping, gardening, and curb appeal. Each year, we conduct a neighborhood-wide review and select winners to showcase the creativity, effort, and care our neighbors invest in their outdoor spaces.
In 2025, over 60 homes were nominated, and 12 were selected for awards. We were thrilled to see strong participation from both new residents and longtime members of our community, with nominations submitted from across the neighborhood.
Selecting just a few winners from so many deserving homes is never easy. Our committee of dedicated volunteers, many of whom are past winners, worked thoughtfully to identify standout properties from four designated zones across St. Louis Hills, ensuring all areas were represented. In addition to our committee’s review, community nominations played a meaningful role in shaping the final list.

Resident Participation Encouraged
