Shaping up the Neighborhood

Santiago Valle, German Lopez and Manuel Pantoja work at removing several locust trees at the apartment complex at 1805 E. 10th Street this morning, June 24. Lopez said Green Team Contractors are working to remove the trees to make way for new sidewalks and improving the curb appeal with a zeroscape with river rock , which saves water. “We’ll work till 12 and call it good,” Lopez said this morning. “After 11 you really start to feel the heat.” Temperatures are predicted to hit 96 degrees Fahrenheit today and then be into the triple digits for the next nine days, the high coming on Monday at 116. Oh Nelly! Find a shady tree and some water, dessert heat is upon us.
