How to participate in the monthly Best Backyard Competition

Community Services invite community residents to participate in the monthly Best Backyard Competition.

One winner will receive a Garden-of-the-month certificate, free gardening materials and gardening services to help further enhance their backyard.

The best backyard will be selected according to the following criteria:

  • Lawn mowing and edging
  • Plant trimming and pruning
  • Weeding, fertilization and soil cultivation
  • Shrub staking and tying
  • Overall appearance and creativity.


To participate, please email gardening@kaust.edu.sa  with your name, KAUST ID number and residential address. All applications must be submitted on or before the twenty-fifth (25th) of each month. Judging will take place on the last day of the month; you do not have to be present at the time of judging, but please ensure access to your backyard is possible.

This competition is sponsored by Facilities & Community Services.
