In March the low slopes west of downtown Tucson go gold with Mexican poppies, and a yard can look just as awake if someone tends it. Poppy Yard Solutions handles the mowing, edging and string trimming that give a desert lot its shape, then clears the clippings and the winter's blown-in litter. Weeds come out of the gravel beds before the heat can set them loose for the year. Hedges and shrubs are cut back so morning light reaches the ground underneath them again. The result is a yard with open air and a crisp border — the kind of place you notice from the sidewalk without knowing why.
