From the right corner of Commerce City the whole Front Range stands up on the western horizon — Longs Peak to the north, Mount Blue Sky to the south, the entire white saw-line of it lit pink about ten minutes before anyone's alarm goes off. Ascend Landscaping & Irrigation takes its cues from that skyline, because what falls up there tends to arrive down here by afternoon. Green-season work is mowing, edging, trimming and the cleanups that bracket the year; winter work is a plow, a shovel and ice control on every walk and step. The mountains set the calendar, and the ground underneath gets kept in order to match. There is something quietly satisfying about a lawn holding its lines a mile above the sea.
