Last week, the City’s Extreme Neighborhood Makeover program went to Canyon Country help beautify one of the homes that had problems with overgrown vegetation.

It’s been 3 years since the City’s Extreme Neighborhood Makeover program was launched. Since the program began, thousands of residents have been introduced to services and resources to aid in keeping their neighborhoods clean and beautiful.

The goal is to help maximize property values throughout our neighborhoods and best assist individual property owners with challenges they face in complying with the law.

Volunteers of all ages helped restore and beautify the property.

Overgrown shrubs and vegetation were removed from the property.

After restoration.

Special thanks to all volunteers who donated their time to help!
