By September the light over Greeley comes in at a lower angle and the mowing weeks start counting down. Rosewood Lawncare/Scaping keeps up the routine right to the end — mowing, trimming, edging, and then the cleanups that pull leaves and spent growth off the beds before the ground closes for the year. Around Sanborn Park the shaded lawns hold their green longest while the sunny strips have already gone to straw, and each gets a different last cut. Aeration and overseeding go down in that same window, when the nights cool and the seed finally has a chance. Putting a yard properly to bed is its own satisfaction, and autumn on the plains is a fine season to do it in.
