Follow the Big Thompson down out of Moraine Park in October and you can watch a whole valley put itself to bed. Estes Valley Tree Care LLC keeps yards ready for that — mowing while the grass still asks for it, then clearing the needle fall, the leaves and the deadfall that pile against fences. Ground kept open under the pines is ground that drains, breathes and looks like somebody lives there. Warm months mean regular cutting, trimming and edging on a steady round through the valley. Cold ones mean leaving a place clean enough that nobody has to think about it until April.
