Amarillo is Spanish for yellow, and in November the city lives up to the name, cottonwood leaves skittering gold down the gutters just before a blue norther comes barreling off the plains and knocks the temperature down thirty degrees in an afternoon. A freeze like that finds every weak joint in a sprinkler system, which is why watering here is as much about timing as about water. Ronnie kenyon Sprinkler & Landscape looks after both the pipes and the planting, with sprinkler service and landscaping for Amarillo yards. Heads that pop up straight, zones that cover without puddling, beds trimmed back neatly ahead of the cold. Then the wind lies down, the sky turns hard and blue, and a yard readied for winter waits it out in calm.
