There is a week every November in Windsor when the water goes quiet — ditches down, hoses coiled, one last warm afternoon spent looking at a lawn that has finished for the year. Ideal Irrigation LLC turns with the town right about then and takes up the winter side of things: plowing driveways, cutting entries open, keeping properties passable once the storms start rolling off the divide. High-plains cold sets a driveway hard overnight, so timing matters more than horsepower does. The reward is a black strip of open concrete on a white street at six in the morning. Same ground, different season, still worth doing carefully.
