The growing season here opens somewhere near the end of June and is finished before the aspen have done turning. Mountainworks Landscape does perennial and native planting, bed design and maintenance, mowing, trimming, mulching and seasonal cleanups across Breckenridge. Columbine, paintbrush and fireweed already know how to live at this altitude, which makes them a better bet than anything trucked up from the Front Range. Beds go in with drainage and cold nights accounted for, and the mowing is timed to a calendar that offers no second chances. Ten short weeks, and then a yard that looks as though the meadow above the Peaks Trail came down for a visit.
