April in Weld County is an argument between seasons — a foot of wet snow one week, then a chinook that strips it off in a day and leaves the lawns steaming. Somewhere in that muddle the grass wakes up, and B&M Yardworks LLC makes the first cut of the year, the one that takes a yard from tan to green in a single afternoon. After that it's the steady rhythm: mowing on schedule, trimming around play sets and posts, edging the walks, hauling off whatever winter left in the beds. There's a particular pride in a lawn that looks tended in May and still looks tended in August, when the heat is testing everybody. Johnstown, Milliken and the neighborhoods out toward Berthoud.
