Spring Creek runs its green seam straight across the middle of Fort Collins, and along it are the lawns people actually lie down on. Barefoot Lawn Care keeps them that way — mown to an even height, trimmed at the edges, raked clean of whatever the cottonwoods let go. July here cools off quickly after sundown, so grass that was too hot at six is worth walking on by eight. The work is unglamorous and the result is not: a soft, level, uninterrupted green that invites shoes off. That is the whole aim, repeated yard by yard from the trail out to the quieter streets.
