About Chaparral Construction LLC

When a winter storm spills over Cuchara Pass and buries the valley, La Veta wakes to the twin Spanish Peaks gleaming against a hard blue sky. Chaparral Construction LLC handles snow removal here, a construction company that turns its attention to driveways and lanes once the valley goes white. There is a particular pleasure in peeling back a deep fresh fall at first light and leaving a dark, clean track to the road. Near the old adobe walls of Fort Francisco, the Cuchara River runs half-locked in ice while the town holds its breath in the cold. With the way out cleared, life in this high valley can carry on at its own unhurried pace.
