The Estancia Valley is the floor of a lake that dried up long before anyone was here to name it, and the wind still crosses it like it has somewhere to be. 4-E Outdoor Services mows and trims in that wind, on ground where grass grows low and honest and a straight edge shows for a mile. Afternoons the Manzano Mountains go violet along the west rim of the valley and the light turns long and forgiving, which happens to be the finest hour to finish a lawn. Trimming the fence posts and clearing what the season dropped keeps a place looking tended in a valley that hands out nothing easily. From Moriarty down to Willard the aim holds steady: a yard that looks deliberate.
