Beautification Advisory Committee
The Beautification Advisory Committee is hosting a community-wide Edge Your Sidewalk Campaign to beautify our Berkley neighborhoods! The goal is to have this effort completed by the city-wide garage sale beginning June 23, 2022.
A Few Reasons Why You Should Edge Your Sidewalk
- Uniform grass lines give your lawn a clean and manicured appearance.
- Provides a root barrier to prevent invasive lawn grasses from entering flowerbeds.
- Snow removal is easier because your equipment does not get caught on the grass overhanging your sidewalk areas.
- Proper edging uncovers the entire surface area of your concrete surfaces, giving your property better overall dimensions.
- Your sidewalks become safer for pedestrians by eliminating some trip hazards.

What Is the Beautification Advisory Committee?
If the City of Berkley is a canvas, the Beautification Advisory Committee is the artist that takes a wide-angled view of the community, develops recommendations, and then advises City leaders about various methods to improve the aesthetics of the City. Committee members add value by implementing the proposed beautification plans.
- Planting flower gardens
- Tree Preservation
- Blight removal
- Storefront improvements
- Open space needs
- Annual paint up-cleanup-fix up event
- Beautification projects on municipal property
- Christmas holiday decorations
