At six in the morning the bluegrass along Johnstown's side streets is still holding dew, and a magpie argues with nobody from the top of a fence post. That is when AMV Lawn Care, LLC likes to start — mowing while the grass is cool, trimming close to posts and pavers, edging until the sidewalk has a clean gray line again. On the high plains a green lawn is a small act of will; it takes steady cutting and patient attention to hold up through a Weld County July. The reward is how a yard looks at the end of the day: striped, squared, the clippings blown off the walk. AMV works Johnstown and the towns around it one property at a time, with the mountains going pink behind the work.
