Fruita is two places at once: the tight grid of town lots, and the county beyond it where roads go by letter and number and a yard can run to an acre or more. Town & Country Lawn Service, LLC works both — the neat residential mow with its trimming and edging, and the bigger acreage cuts where grass meets pasture and the mower is out for hours. October is the good month for it, cool and clear, the alfalfa off the fields and the air smelling of dust and dry grass as the season closes toward its final cleanup. Different ground asks for different work, and knowing which is which is most of the job. Either way the yard gets left looking finished.
