South of town the adobe walls of Fort Vasquez sit right up against US-85, a low square of old mud and grass that has watched the highway grow around it. Jose's Landscaping & Patio works the yards along that corridor and the streets behind it, mowing, edging and shaping the borders where lawn gives way to gravel and drive. Evening is the good hour on this stretch of the valley — the plains cool fast, sprinklers tick on down the block, and a fresh-cut yard perfumes the whole street. Spring and fall cleanups move the year along, hauling out whatever the wind and the cottonwoods have left behind. Straight lines, square corners, and nothing left lying in the road when the truck pulls away.
