Demolition List

Is your property or a property you are interested in purchasing on the Demolition List published by the City of Tulsa?

The Housing Opportunity Partnership is a new program launched by the City of Tulsa to address over 300 vacant, abandoned and uninhabitable properties that are in such disrepair they constitute a public nuisance and eligible for demolition.

If you are a community development housing organization, non-profit, developer, realtor, property owner interested in transforming uninhabitable structures into safe decent housing or building new housing for Tulsans, please click the link below for a copy of the demolition property case list

Note: The city is not acquiring these properties; rather we’re ensuring structures that lead to neighborhood instability are addressed. 

Verify before you buy!

Rain and Snow in your Yard Landscaping

Rain and snow in your yard landscaping

Rain and snow are going to play a huge part in your yard landscaping decisions. For example you will have to plan for your yard landscaping with care. You should go to the library and take out some books on the subject. These yard landscaping books will help you to learn all of the most important points of yard landscaping so that you do not ruin your yard for good.

Your yard landscaping needs to be done with close attention being paid to rain and snow as well as proper drainage. If you find that your yard gets too muddy in the winter or you have large puddles all over then you most likely do not have the right kind of drainage going on. This is something that you may want to consider getting a professional in to take care of. If you still want to do the rest of your yard landscaping yourself then this is fine but some things are better left to the professionals.

You need to have your yard landscaping done in such a way that the rain when it falls, will actually water your plants. You will be able to use all of the water that falls into your yard to feed the plants and the trees if you set up your yard landscaping the right way. Knowing the general rainfall levels and times of the year you will then be able to make up the water levels when they drop with other watering. This is important during times like summer when it gets hot and there is not much rain.

Snow is another thing that is very important to your yard. Snow is just as vital to your entire yard landscaping project as rain is. Snow not only waters your yard as it melts but the snow, although cold, can actually help to keep your soil warmer. This will allow any plants that are sleeping under the snow to stay healthy and alive. Your bulbs will pop up in the spring in perfect form and color making your yard landscaping all the more beautiful

When it rains you need to see just how the rain is transferred all over your yard. This is very important to the entire yard landscaping that you are planning to do. This is simple to do, all you need to do is take a walk around your yard the next time it starts to rain. Watch for where the rain puddles and where it drains to and you are well on your way to perfect yard landscaping. This kind of work is the easy part of the job and is the best way to start. Then you will know what needs to be done to get the right kind of drainage going with you yard landscaping.

Clean Up, Don’t get the FINE!
