About Gilbert Flores Landscaping

Quemado is named for the dark, burned-looking hills above the Rio Grande in northern Maverick County, and the land around it holds two worlds at once: dry brush country on the rises, and irrigated fields and pecan orchards down in the river valley. Gilbert Flores Landscaping handles the mowing and trimming for homes in this small farming town along Highway 277. The heat comes early here and stays late, so grass grows in bursts after rain and then waits for water. Keeping a yard even through those swings, with the borders trimmed and the drive swept clear, makes a home look rooted in its place. At sundown, when the light goes copper on the hills, a fresh-cut lawn smells sweet against the dust.
