Harris County Commissioners Court approved a contract change with Yellowstone Landscape Central, Inc. for ongoing maintenance and mowing services in the Humble Camp Area within Precinct 3. The amendment adds $4,062.20 to the existing contract for on-call landscape maintenance work that started in 2022. This contract helps keep our public spaces clean, safe, and welcoming for families and visitors. Regular mowing and landscape maintenance protects property values in surrounding neighborhoods and ensures parks remain accessible for recreation and community events. The county requires contractors to meet diversity goals, with this project aiming for 19.67% participation from minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBE), currently at 19.17%. These requirements help ensure county contracts support local small businesses and create economic opportunities across our community. Residents can track how their tax dollars fund essential services like park maintenance through the county's legislative system. When contractors maintain our green spaces properly, it reduces safety hazards, controls pests, and creates pleasant environments for outdoor activities. If you have concerns about park conditions in Precinct 3 or want to understand how county contracts work, contact Luis Cabrera at the email provided. You can also attend Commissioners Court meetings to see how decisions about public services get made and speak during public comment periods.
Well-kept parks in the Humble area mean safer playgrounds, cleaner green spaces, and better property values for nearby families. This contract keeps your neighborhood parks mowed and maintained with tax dollars.
