Scenic sits in the low corner of Arizona where the Virgin River comes down out of its gorge and the Joshua trees climb the slope toward the Utah line. Summer arrives early here and stays late, so Jack's Landscaping starts before the heat does, cutting and edging and getting the clippings out while the shadows still reach across the drive. Watering a lawn at this elevation is a conversation with the sun, and the payoff is a green square held against a hundred miles of tan rock. By evening the whole valley cools at once and a freshly trimmed border shows sharp in the last light. Yards are kept in Scenic, Beaver Dam and Littlefield.
