M. Leeder Construction employees, from left, Mike Daniels, Bubba Matava, Chris Martinez and Channing Leber on Tuesday lay down new asphalt on the cart paths at Hillcrest Golf Club. The $500,000 project, covering more than 9,000 linear feet, is replacing asphalt that has been in use since the 1970s. A few trees with roots pushing up the path have been removed, and some new sections of path have been added, while some old sections have been removed. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
