Alarcon's Landscaping

About Alarcon's Landscaping

Snow in Adelphi rarely gives much warning — it slides up from the south overnight, wet and heavy, and by morning the hill on Riggs Road is a slow gray crawl of brake lights. That is the hour Alarcon's Landscaping works for. While the neighborhood sleeps, plows and shovels move through driveways and along front walks, so that the first thing a homeowner sees at the window is clean pavement steaming under the streetlights. There is a particular satisfaction in a driveway cut sharp to its edges before the sun clears the treeline, in salt laid down before the melt can refreeze into black ice. Inside the Beltway, a storm can turn to slush by noon and back to glass by dusk, and Alarcon's Landscaping keeps pace with all of it — clearing, treating, returning. When the county trucks have moved on and the main roads are bare, the quiet side streets of Adelphi still need someone, and that someone shows up.
