In October the cottonwoods along the Cache la Poudre go yellow all at once, and every yard from Lee Martinez Park east collects a week's worth of leaves overnight. Lindgren Landscape works that turn — cleanups hauled away, final mows, edges tidied before the ground goes hard. Then the river fogs on cold mornings, the plow goes on, and drives and walks are opened while the town is still dark. Landscape work in Fort Collins is really two trades sharing one truck, and doing both means the same properties stay looked after all the way around the calendar. A place kept year-round shows it, in every month.
