North of Golden the road to Boulder runs along open grassland with the hogback standing on one flank and nothing at all on the other, and that is where the wind learns the tricks it plays on lawns in town. Colorado Landscaping works with it rather than around it: mowing, trimming, edging, aeration and overseeding to thicken what the gusts and the sun thin out. Turf on this side of the state is a made thing, kept by attention and a sensible cut height. The reward is a lawn that stays even from the sidewalk to the back fence, all the way through a dry August. Golden anchors the work, with Arvada, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood close behind.
