Pine sits at better than five thousand feet under the Mogollon Rim, where the ponderosas grow thick enough to change the sound of a place and the air comes off the Rim cool even in July. Stodghill Excavating Inc handles the yard work in that pine country — mowing the clearings and the small mountain lawns, trimming, edging, raking up needles and cones, and hauling the pile away. Duff builds fast under these trees, so the raking is half the job and often the better half. Autumn is the moment: oaks turning gold down in the draws, the first cold nights, everyone getting their ground clear before winter settles on the Rim. A yard raked back to open grass, with the pines standing over it, looks the way this town ought to look.
