The last thing done to a lawn is the edge, and it's the first thing anybody actually sees. Along the older sidewalks in Dupont, where the concrete has settled into its own gentle waves, JT's Landscaping & Lawn Service / Colorado cuts that line back to something true — a shoulder of dark soil, grass squared off, the walk cleared until it looks wider than it did that morning. Mowing and trimming come first, naturally, and cleanups in spring and fall bracket the whole year. At dusk in July a fresh cut smells like the entire street. Small margins, but they're exactly what people mean when they say a yard looks good.
