Down where Needles meets the Colorado, weekends smell like river water and sunscreen, and the yards near the water get lived in hard. Quality Boat Yard keeps up the lawn side of that river life — mowing, edging, cleanup, the upkeep that lets a place stay ready for company all season. The river gives this town its cool blue margin against the Mojave, and a green, cared-for yard extends that margin a little further inland. The work happens early, before the water traffic picks up, and it finishes with clean lines and cleared ground. Then the day belongs to the river, the way it should.
