Halagueno Park sits green and shaded a few blocks off the busy part of Carlsbad — standing proof that this valley will grow whatever somebody is willing to tend. Rocha's Landscaping tends it at residential scale: mowing and edging, shrub and hedge trimming, bed cleanup, rock and gravel ground cover laid where the sun is merciless, and planting chosen for a place that gets fourteen inches of rain in a generous year. Spring means clearing out whatever the wind delivered; fall means cutting back and hauling off the drop. In between it is steady mowing and a sharp edge along the concrete. The measure of the whole thing is a property that reads finished from the curb.
