A property in this valley asks for something different every eight weeks. GP Property Services answers with both halves of the year — snow plowing, walkway clearing and ice control while the storms stack up, then mowing, trimming and seasonal cleanups once the ground finally lets go. Up the switchbacks of Metcalf Road and down through Eagle-Vail the grades are steep and the shade lingers, so no two driveways melt out on the same schedule. Knowing which ones will glaze over again by evening is most of the skill. The reward is unremarkable and worth a great deal: a place that simply works, month after month, without anyone having to think about it.
