June comes late to Evergreen, and the grass knows it. ASanchez Landscaping LLC works the yards along Buffalo Park Road once the last frost finally lets go, mowing at the hour when the ponderosas still hold a little night air in their shade. Up here a lawn is a small, stubborn thing — thin soil over decomposed granite, sun that arrives hard at seven thousand feet — so every pass is set to leave the blades tall enough to keep their own roots cool. They trim the awkward margins by hand, edge the walks clean, and rake off the needles that drift down all season long. By the time the mower is loaded, the yard looks like someone lives there on purpose.
