Mid-July at Washington Park, the mowers make their long stripes around Smith Lake and half of Denver seems to be lying out on the grass. Making the Cut Landscape and Lawn Care brings that same discipline to the yards a few blocks off, mowing, edging, trimming and keeping beds and borders honest through the season. A good cut is mostly geometry: parallel lines, a clean turn at the corner, an edge that follows the walk instead of wandering near it. The mile-high sun is hard on turf, so the height comes up in August and the lawn thanks you for it. Then comes the finish work, which is where a yard stops looking mowed and starts looking kept.
