ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Heads Up Landscape Contractors has promoted staff member Rigoberto “Rigo” Zavala. Heads Up was founded in 1973 as a four-man residential lawn sprinkler service.

The company also leads the xeriscape industry from its Albuquerque headquarters, employing 250 people.
 
"Rigo is a great example of work ethic and dedication to his job,” said Eddie Padilla, vice president/director of sales & marketing. “He genuinely enjoys his job, and has grown during his time with us.”
 
Zavala started with Heads Up as a crew leader in 2006. He was promoted to supervisor in 2008. In March, he was promoted to field operations manager. In this role, he oversees the five field supervisors and coordinates with the operations division.
