September light on Old Pecos Trail comes in low and long by five o'clock, and it is merciless about lines — every edge, every seam of flagstone, every place a lawn has crept where it should not. Mallory Landscape And Design works to that standard through the Zia Road and Old Pecos neighborhoods: mowing to a single even height, edges cut true along walks, drives and stone, shrubs shaped so the structure of a yard reads instead of blurring, beds cleared down to clean ground. A designed yard only stays designed if somebody holds its geometry right through the growing season. The satisfaction is in the reveal at the end of an afternoon, when the shadows stretch across a surface with nothing out of place. Then the low sun leaves the flagstone and the yard holds its shape into dusk.
