Elkhorn Landscapes

About Elkhorn Landscapes

At the end of the road west of Nederland, Eldora is a cluster of mining-era cabins along Middle Boulder Creek, tucked under forested ridges at the doorstep of the Indian Peaks. Summer comes late and leaves early at this elevation, and the grass knows it, surging green in July while the creek runs loud with snowmelt and wildflowers crowd the meadows. Elkhorn Landscapes looks after lawns in Eldora, keeping the small yards and clearings around mountain homes mown and tidy. There is real satisfaction in a tended patch of grass in a place this wild, a neat green margin between a cabin porch and the lodgepole pines. Afternoon clouds stack up over the Continental Divide, and a just-trimmed yard gives off its sweet green scent as the first drops tick on tin roofs.
