Home Beautification Program 2022

The City Commission approved funding for a beautification program for homes in St. Pete Beach that lack green space and landscaping in their front Right of Way. An example would be a home with the front Right of Way that consists of asphalt. This program would remove the asphalt and add ground cover such as jasmine, mulch, perennial peanut, etc. along with adding shade trees of the homeowners choosing Elm, Maple or Oak. This would improve the look along the street and increase the city’s green infrastructure and tree canopy.
