April in Boulder can drop a heavy, soaking snow onto grass that has only just decided to wake up. Roots & Shoots Tree Care works the ground after weather like that — mowing once things dry out, clearing the litter a storm shakes loose, raking the shade-side patches under the old cottonwoods near the creek back toward green. The name is honest about the order of things: what shows on top is the last chapter, and what happens underneath writes it. So mowing height gets set for the sun a particular yard actually receives, and cleanups get done thoroughly rather than quickly. A Boulder lawn in full leaf-dapple, cut even and edged clean, is worth the patience it asks for.
