Paul and Julie Giles's Corner Lot Restoration Awarded Yard of the Week

Daisies in bloom at the Giles's Payson home.

The grass was knee high when Paul and Julie Giles first step foot on the yard outside the old home they bought in Payson. The stubs of four trees, cut upon dying, stood three feet high, awaiting to be removed at the root, Paul recalls. Seven years later, the scene is but a memory, as is evidenced in the nominations made by neighbors making it their pick for Yard of the Week.

The Gileses have molded their corner lot into a magnificent scene, abound with floral borders graced by daisies, lilies, and a myriad of blooms. A gentle-flowing fountain trickles near the front door and an open patio, complete with fireplace, welcomes on the south-side of the home. Homegrown vegetables are a likely fare; a vegetable garden teeming with healthy crops stretches out back.
