Mount Sopris holds its snow into June while the Roaring Fork valley below turns unmistakably green, and Basalt's yards wake all at once. Blue Sky Garden & Lawn works that season out — mowing, trimming, edging, bed care and seasonal cleanups from the first thaw through the last gold of the cottonwoods along the Rio Grande Trail. Gardens here run on irrigation and a short summer, so timing carries more weight than effort. A crisp edge along a walk, beds cleaned out, grass cut even on ground that never really sits flat. In this valley a well-kept yard is a small, deliberate answer to very large scenery.
