About Tom is Handy Ltd

By October the street trees on the blocks below South Table Mountain have let go, and the yards around the School of Mines fill up faster than anybody can rake them. Tom is Handy Ltd takes the lawn work on those streets — mowing while the grass still runs, string trimming the fence lines and awkward corners, edging the walks, and hauling the leaves off once they are down. Autumn in Golden is a narrow bright window between the last warm afternoon and the morning Castle Rock wears frost, so the work starts early and moves quick. A yard cleared before noon, beds swept and every edge reset for winter, is the kind of small order that makes a whole block look intentional. It is plain outdoor work done for neighbors, on streets close enough together that you pass your own lawns again on the way home.
