West of town the road toward Sedalia climbs into ponderosa, and on a windy afternoon you can hear the whole hillside breathing. Flemings Tree and Lawn Care works the ground below that ridge line — mowing on rotation, edges cut in, trimming where the mower cannot go, cleanups after the wind has had its fun. When the weather turns the crew moves to snow, plowing drives and clearing the walks so a house is reachable at first light. Castle Rock properties sit between plain and pine, and both have opinions about what a yard will do. The work is that ongoing conversation.
