Linkwood Awarded Phase 2 Beautification Grant!

For the second year in a row, Linkwood Civic Club has been awarded a City of Houston matching grant for the beautification of its Stella Link adopted esplanades. This award comes only 9 months following the club's completion of the Stella Link Esplanade project Phase I in which irrigation, a large planting bed, and trees were added at the intersection of Stella Link and South Braeswood. Phase 2 of the project will concentrate its efforts on the Stella Link and East Linkwood Drive intersection. Plans include the addition of colorful flower beds at the esplanade tips of Linkwood Drive, creating an attractive entrance to the neighborhood. Additional mature hardwoods will be planted along the esplanades to provide a shaded, natural boundary to the neighborhood.

Phase I Beautification Completed

We are very pleased with the completion of Phase I of the Linkwood Esplanade Beautification Project. The beautiful bed of native plants and seasonal color is a welcomed makeover from the previous "ugly duckling" intersection of South Braeswood and Stella Link. The addition of the colorful, artistic birdhouses represents the pride and care of the Linkwood community. Residents look forward to the maturing of Oaks, Pines, and other hardwoods planted along the esplanade that will provide shade, reduce noise pollution, and create an inviting, wooded entrance to the neighborhood.
