April Yard of the Month - 5401 Willis Ave

Congratulations to our April Yard of the Month winner, Taylor Wolf, at 5401 Willis Avenue and her roommate Kimberly Cadarette! A California native, Taylor moved to Dallas in 2017 after graduating from TCU (proud flag displayed on the front porch!) and began working for the Dallas Cowboys as a Project Manager.
Taylor lived in the Uptown and Fitzhugh area for years, but loved the Vickery/M Street area for the mature trees, friendly neighbors, and the walkability. During a walk in the neighborhood with her mom in July 2023, she saw a coming soon sign in the yard and acted fast to secure the house and cute front porch where she could see herself having a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. She rarely uses her car on the weekends and loves walking to her neighborhood favorites – Fortune House, Wabi House and The Avenue to cheer on her favorite teams.
With yard goals focused on maintaining year-round greenery and bursts of color, Taylor's yard efforts, along with help from her landscaper (Pablo Landscaping 214- 622-1731) are succeeding, as her lush grass, resilient even in the face of extreme weather, attests. Pansies greet visitors at the front, while meticulously placed boxwoods, Ligustrum, and Japanese Maples adorn the landscape, framing the facade with natural beauty.
Looking ahead, Taylor's green thumb shows no signs of slowing down. Her next endeavor - A garden brimming with herbs, veggies, and vibrant blooms—a nod to her California roots. Thanks to our YOTM Sponsor, North Haven Gardens, she’ll receive a $50 gift card to get started. Congrats Taylor!
