Fort Collins summers hold their weather until late afternoon and then let it all go at once: dark over the foothills, wind, and sometimes hail that leaves lawns shredded and gutters full of leaves in July. Fort Collins Lawn & Garden works the days on either side of that — mowing on a steady turn, trimming and edging, clearing storm litter, tidying the line where grass meets garden bed. Recovery here is quick, because the light is long, the nights are cool, and the grass wants to grow. A yard cut and cleaned within a day of a storm barely remembers the storm. That fast return to order is the pleasure of the trade in this town.
