About Agave Landscaping and Construction

March in the Española Valley belongs to the wind — it comes down the Chama, crosses the Rio Grande, and shakes the bare cottonwoods until the whole bosque rattles. Agave Landscaping and Construction reads that as the starting gun: winter debris pulled out of the yards, dead growth cut back, beds and borders reset before the first real green. Through the warm months the work is steady and plain — mowing, edging, trimming along walls, gravel and stone held to their lines, grass kept off the driveway. This valley grows things easily where it is watered and stubbornly where it is not, so the crew cuts to suit the yard in front of them rather than the calendar. There is real satisfaction in the last pass of the afternoon, when the light goes red toward Black Mesa and a yard that was ragged at eight o'clock is squared away.
