Carter Park is a sledding hill for seven months and a picnic lawn for five, which is roughly the whole shape of a year in this town. Breckenridge Landscape Co. handles mowing, trimming, cleanups, planting and mulching through the green months, then plowing, shoveling and ice management once the grass goes under. The changeover happens fast here; a lawn can take its last cut and its first snow inside the same week of September. Blades come off, plows go on, and the same driveways get looked after in a different color. Working straight through the calendar means knowing where every buried edge, valve and flower bed sits before it disappears.
