Morenci is a town of terraces — the benches climbing above the houses, and in late afternoon the light coming down them one step at a time. G&C Landscaping keeps lawns mowed, trimmed and edged for the homes stacked along those slopes, where a level patch of grass is something a family made on purpose. Near five thousand feet the summer nights cool off, the grass takes its time, and a weekly cut leaves a yard looking cared for rather than merely shortened. Autumn brings wind up the valley and a week of leaves and dust to clear before a yard can breathe again. The good part is unmistakable: green squared off against red rock, and the walk swept clean.
