In Palm Desert the calendar runs backward: summer is the season of retreat, and winter is when the valley comes alive, with clear warm days, cool nights and the Santa Rosas glowing pink at sundown. Hanson Remodels & Landscapes cares for lawns in Palm Desert, where a ribbon of green grass against tan desert is a striking sight. Once the heat breaks, the palms and galleries of El Paseo fill with strollers, and up in the rocky hills bighorn sheep pick their way along ledges above town. A well-timed mow, a clean edge and careful trimming leave a yard cool and composed beneath that enormous sky, from a mild February morning to the first warm day of spring. Even when summer returns with its glaring white noons, a lawn given care through the gentle months carries its color farther into the heat.
