The awards show our neighbors and visitors that Redwood City recognizes the importance and value of keeping our City beautiful.

The Mayor's Beautification Award program is sponsored by the City's Pride and Beautification committee, and is designed to recognize the efforts of residents, non-profit agencies, and businesses to maintain or improve Redwood City neighborhoods. The program encourages attractive structural and landscaping improvements in our community. Single- or multi-family residences, apartment complexes, home owners associations, and non-profit or commercial properties are eligible.

Categories include best architectural design, remodel, historical restoration; most beautiful garden or landscape; best compatible building and garden or landscape; and more. In fact, if your entry doesn't exactly fit into one of the categories, applicants can make their own.
