Winter takes Round Valley seriously, and there is a week in March when the snowline finally lifts off the ridges and every lawn in Eagar shows up brown, flattened and ready for help. Gardner Excavating meets yards at that moment — the first mow of the year, edges re-cut, matted leaf and thatch pulled out, shrubs tidied after months under weight. Give a high-country lawn one honest cleanup and it will spend the summer paying you back. From there the work is unglamorous and regular: mowing on a schedule, string trimming the awkward corners, carrying the clippings off. By June a Round Valley yard looks like it was never buried at all.
