On a January dawn the La Platas stand hard and white on the eastern horizon while Cortez lies under a fresh, blue shadowed few inches. That is Legacy Tree Solutions' hour: headlights on, blade down, drives and lots opened before the town is properly awake, walks shoveled and salted so nobody starts the day sideways. Come spring the same properties want mowing, trimming, edging, feeding and weed control, week after week, right through to October. Cleanups mark the turn in each direction, once when the snow goes and once when the leaves do. It makes a full circle of a year, and both ends of it finish the same way, with a place that works.
