Evenings in Meadow Lake belong to the Manzanos: the range goes rose, then violet, and every lawn on the mesa takes on that low gold light. Hernandez Services NM likes to finish a yard right about then, mower loaded, walks blown clear, the stripe of a fresh cut still showing. Days here run dry and bright, so the work is measured out with care, mowing at the right height, trimming close around posts and beds, keeping growth even so a lawn can hold its own on open ground. Valencia County yards are working yards, and they look better for a steady hand. The result is a place that greets you on the drive in.
