CODE CARES - Help a Neighbor with Lawn Care
We are looking for volunteers to help Garland residents with basic lawn mowing and light yard care. This effort supports residents who may be unable to maintain their yards due to age, disability, or temporary hardship.
Volunteers will provide simple lawn care services that help residents stay safe, maintain their homes, and remain in compliance with City codes while showing kindness where it matters most.
This project is conducted in partnership with Garland Code Compliance.
