Sunrise in Denver comes off the plains and hits the peaks first — the Front Range goes pink while the west-side streets are still grey and quiet. That's the hour the mowers come off the trailer around Barnum and the long flat blocks near Federal, before the heat stacks up and the wind picks up out of the southwest. A A Mowing & Landscape works the way those streets are built: straight lines, honest corners, nothing left ragged where the turf meets concrete. Trimmer work follows the mower, fence line and tree ring and mailbox post, and the walks get blown clean so the clippings don't ride into the gutter. By the time the day turns bright and loud, the yard is already done and the truck is two blocks on.
