Out in San Diego County's backcountry, the Santa Maria Valley opens wide around Ramona — ranchland, vineyards and granite hills under a sky that feels twice as big as the one at the coast. On a cold January morning the frost stiffens the pasture grass and hawks circle low over the Ramona Grasslands, hunting the open fields. Horizon Landscape keeps Ramona properties trim with lawn care and landscaping, a fitting name in a place where the land runs on to the edge of sight. Winters are crisp and summers run hot and dry, so a lawn needs regular attention to stay green against the chaparral. Ranch country respects a well-kept place, and a newly mown lawn edged neatly beside a split-rail fence says so plainly.
