The Little Colorado runs shallow and brown past St. Johns between red sandstone banks, and out on this plateau a green lawn is a decision somebody made and keeps making. Johnson & Company Landscaping & Renewal keeps it — mowing, edging, string trimming, and weed control against the tough volunteers that blow in on the April wind. Spring here arrives as wind before it arrives as warmth, so cleanups come first: tumbleweed and grit out of the corners, beds cleared, everything carried off. Then the water gets its chance, the fertilizer goes down, and by June that yard is the greenest thing for a mile. None of it is accidental, and that is where the satisfaction lives.
