June in Buckhorn Valley: the creek runs loud with snowmelt, the light hangs on until nine, and every lawn in Gypsum is growing faster than anyone planned for. Gm masonry & outdoor services llc keeps pace with it, mowing, trimming, edging and cleaning up yards for homes on the benches above town and down along the valley floor. Out here a lawn is a green room carved out of sagebrush and rock, and it stays green because somebody tends it on a schedule. There is honest pleasure in how it finishes: stripes laid straight, borders cut sharp against the concrete, clippings gone. Come evening the hills go copper and the work is just standing there, quietly done.
