The heaviest snow of the year in these hills usually falls in March, wet as wet concrete, bending the pines down over driveways from Aspen Park to Conifer. JR's Landscaping & Property Maintenance is out plowing it, opening drives and cutting walkways down to solid ground while it is still coming. A few weeks later the same properties need the other half of the work: raking out the flattened grass, mowing the first growth, trimming and edging as the season finally turns on. Winter clearing and summer cutting are two halves of knowing a place well. They keep both halves in hand, storm to storm and week to week.
