There is a late-April hour in Highlands Ranch when the prairie wind finally quits, the open space goes still, and the back yard becomes the only place worth being. Land Escape LLC works toward that hour, mowing, edging and trimming so the ground behind the house feels like somewhere to go instead of something to fix. Cleanups clear the dry grass and winter litter that blows in off the fields, and again the leaves that come down in October. The lawn returns thick, the borders come back crisp, and the chore list gets shorter. A yard ought to be a small escape from the rest of the day.
