A well-kept front yard on Deer Lick Drive has earned North Forest’s September 2026 Yard of the Month recognition. The neighborhood selected Merced Narvaez’s home at 16211 Deer Lick Drive, highlighting landscaping that gives neighbors a visible example of the care residents bring to their properties.

The recognition centers on the home shown in the submitted neighborhood photograph. From the street, the landscaping combines a closely maintained lawn with defined planting areas, flowering accents and potted greenery near the entrance.

Details That Frame the Home

The lawn provides a broad green foreground, while the planting beds help frame the house and create separation between the grass and the home’s exterior. Flowering plants introduce color without overwhelming the space, and the container plants near the entry add another layer of greenery close to the front door.

Together, those elements create a front-yard presentation that appears orderly and welcoming in the submitted image. The recognition also gives North Forest neighbors a chance to see the specific home selected rather than simply reading a winner’s name on a monthly list.

What Residents Know About the Selection

The information supplied with the September announcement identifies Narvaez and the winning address, but it does not specify how the home was nominated or selected. No judging criteria, nomination deadline, eligibility requirements or date for the next selection were included.

That means residents should not assume the September landscaping represents a formal checklist for future awards. The home is the neighborhood’s selected recipient for this month, while the process for later recognition remains subject to any instructions the association may provide.

Asking About Future Yard Recognition

North Forest’s state-filed management certificate identifies the neighborhood organization as the North Forest Community Improvement Association and lists Montage Community Services as its management company. Montage’s current website provides a community support channel and lists its main telephone number as 281-232-7659.

Residents interested in nominating a yard, confirming future selection dates or learning whether participation rules have been established can use the association’s usual management channel to request current information.

For now, the September spotlight belongs to Merced Narvaez and the landscaping at 16211 Deer Lick Drive. Follow My Neighborhood News for more North Forest recognitions and community updates.
