1333 West Willetta Street

October Visual Award

Two years ago, this home's front yard was, frankly, a wreck. There was a dead, leafless tree and patches of dried-up grass.

But, as often happens, a transformation took place. Today, the home at 1333 W. Willetta has a thriving desert landscape, anchored by two brilliantly blooming bougainvilleas. An assortment of low-water use plants, from a tall prickly pear cactus to hesperaloes grace the yard.

A brick path winds through the yard and up to the front patio, providing a
graceful entrance to the house, now home to recently arrived renters. The
renovation has brought new life to the yard, the house and the neighborhood, earning this home the October Visual
Award.

Six Points Hardware is the sponsor of the F.Q. Story Visual Award. The monthly winners get a $100 gift certificate to the store, which sits at the western edge of our neighborhood.
