As hurricane season approaches, Five Corners is proactively working to strengthen and beautify our community by raising tree canopies, removing dead trees, grinding stumps, and clearing dangerous branches throughout the district. These efforts are designed to improve safety, visibility, and the overall appearance of our neighborhoods.

​

In addition, Five Corners Porter Services proudly provides trash pickup five days a week within the district. Along corridors where tree canopies have already been raised, requests were made to the Parks Department to assist with de-littering, mowing, and edging medians so these improvements can truly shine.

Our community is already seeing incredible examples of neighborhood pride and partnership:

• Along West Orem from Chimney Rock to Hillcroft, Southwest Crossing HOA places fresh mulch under the trees each year.

• Fountain of Praise Church is enhancing Hillcroft from South Main to Blue Ridge by mulching trees along the corridor.

• Five Corners has also adopted the Madison Mile on West Orem from Hiram Clarke to Buffalo Speedway.

​

These efforts demonstrate what is possible when residents, churches, HOAs, and community organizations work together to care for our shared spaces. We encourage more civic clubs, businesses, churches, and neighborhood associations to consider adopting streets, medians, or green spaces to help keep our community clean, welcoming, and beautiful. Adoption is a meaningful way to make a visible impact, but it also comes with the responsibility of ongoing care and maintenance.

The ideas shared regarding planting mature trees along Hiram Clarke and Airport, as well as adding mulch around trees, are excellent suggestions that can contribute greatly to the beautification of the area. To move those ideas forward, requests should be directed to the District K Office, as representatives from that office were not included in the current email chain.

​

Together, through collaboration, pride, and consistent care, we can continue building a stronger, safer, and more beautiful community for everyone.
