In October the wind comes down Deer Creek Canyon with an edge on it, the scrub oak turns rust, and lawns along the Front Range get their one real chance to fix the year. Front Range Exterior Scapes takes it — core aeration to open compacted ground, overseeding behind it, a last few mows as growth slows, then leaf and debris cleanup ahead of the first hard freeze. It is unglamorous labor performed during the finest hour of the Colorado calendar, foothills going blue behind your shoulder. None of it shows until April, when the turf returns thick instead of thin. Autumn work traded for a spring lawn: that exchange is the whole idea.
