By late May the Animas runs loud and the color of milky jade, carrying down everything the San Juans held all winter, and the cottonwoods along the river trail leaf out almost overnight. Riverview Landscaping, LLC works the yards on both banks — mowing, trimming, edging, and the cleanouts that clear away what the runoff season leaves behind. Evening is the best hour for it, when the light comes sideways off Perins Peak and a freshly cut lawn holds its stripes like moving water. In winter those addresses go quiet and white, and the work turns to plowing driveways, opening walks and keeping ice off the entries. The river keeps its own schedule, and so does this outfit.
