About Green magic landscaping

Nothing else in the Verde Valley is quite the color of a watered lawn — the hills go juniper-gray and dust-gold, and then there is this one bright rectangle behind the block wall. Keeping that contrast honest takes routine more than anything else: even mowing, defined edges, trimming where a mower cannot square a corner. Clippings come off the grass and off the drive, and beds are weeded so the green stays the only thing anybody notices. Cool months bring a longer interval between cuts and a cleanup after the valley wind has its say. Camp Verde, Lake Montezuma and the Village of Oak Creek are all within reach.
