About Ward Landscapes and Garden Center

Wellington sits on the high desert bench below the Book Cliffs, that long escarpment turning rust and gray along the horizon, and winter afternoons here have a way of going gray and still right along with it, snow lying thin and even across the whole Carbon County valley. Ward Landscapes and Garden Center clears driveways and walkways across town through those afternoons, working ahead of the freeze that always follows once the sun drops behind the bench. The Price River bottoms nearby stay half-frozen for weeks at a stretch, and Wellington's streets take on the same stubborn cold, snow that doesn't melt so much as wait it out. A driveway scraped clean while the Book Cliffs above town go from rust to gray to nearly black as the light fails feels like a small, finished thing set against all that unmoving rock. Carbon County winters are plain and a little hard, and clearing a path through one is honest work for a town that's used to it.
