October in Gunnison belongs to nobody: aspen leaves still coming down, first snow already dusting the sage, mower and plow both wanting the same Saturday. Dono's Lawn Care And Landscaping takes that month in stride, finishing fall cleanups one week and hanging the blade the next. Warm months are mowing, edging and hauling off what the yard drops; cold months are drives, lots and walkways opened before the day starts. The Van Tuyl fields north of town make a decent clock — when the frost still holds there past nine, it's plow season. Both trades, one crew, all year in Gunnison country.
