January in Golden Shores is the reward for August: seventy degrees, a sky with nothing in it, and the old steel arch of the Trails bridge standing over the river at Topock like a piece of jewelry. Winter is when yards here get their real attention, when a lawn can be cut and edged in the middle of the afternoon with nobody hurrying. Mauch 1 Plumbing looks after that lawn care around Golden Shores — mowing on schedule, crisp edges along paths and drives, trimming close to walls and posts, and the trimmings gathered rather than scattered. The line where cut grass meets desert gravel ought to be a straight one, and out here you can see it from the road. Small thing; it changes how a whole place looks.
