Along the Spring Creek Trail the cottonwoods throw shade that travels all afternoon, and the yards backing onto it hold a shade more green for it. Kenai Lawncare LLc mows those and the ones a few streets over — steady cutting through the season, string trimming around trees and posts, edges defined, clippings cleared off the walk instead of left to scatter. There is an hour near dusk in a Fort Collins summer when the heat finally lets go and a fresh-mown yard becomes the place everyone drifts to. Getting a lawn to that state week after week is the job, and it never stops being satisfying. Spring and fall cleanups bookend the year so the grass starts and finishes it clean.
