The Yampa Valley opens wide at Hayden — sage flats, hay ground, a river line drawn in cottonwoods, and the Elkhead Mountains standing off to the north. 3 Ridges Over Excavation, Inc keeps lawns going in that country: mowing, string trimming, edging and spring and fall cleanups on properties where grass has to hold its own against wind and thin soil. Summer here is short, bright and dusty, with storms that walk up the valley in the afternoon and dump for ten minutes before moving on. A rough acre brought back to an even, level cut is worth every hot hour it takes. Lawn care for homes and acreages around Hayden and the lower Yampa.
