Applewood still carries its orchard name, and the neighborhood grew up under big trees between Clear Creek and the flat red brow of South Table Mountain. Nomad Lawn and Property Maintenance works those shaded Jefferson County yards — mowing, trimming, edging, and the seasonal cleanups that keep leaf litter from smothering turf under all that canopy. Wind comes down off Lookout Mountain and out of the canyon mouth most evenings and redistributes everything, which is half the job right there. Late May is the good stretch: grass thick, irrigation running, the mountains still holding snow above a valley gone completely green. A lawn cut and edged in that light, against the old trees, is a small unimprovable thing.
