Four in the morning on Horizon Drive, and the only sound in Grand Junction is a blade scraping asphalt. Mesa Turf Masters works the storm hours — plowing drives and lots, clearing walkways, shoveling the steps, laying ice melt wherever the grade wants to send somebody sideways. Valley snow can be gone by afternoon, but the hours before sunrise are the ones that matter to anyone with somewhere to be. Getting there first is the job. Taking it down to bare pavement is the point.
