Most of Lafayette is asleep when the plow lights come up Arapahoe Road. Landscape Care Associates Co. clears lots, drive lanes and walks overnight, so a shop that opens at seven opens onto black pavement and a treated sidewalk. When the year turns, the same properties get mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups — the green frame around a building nobody notices until it goes ragged. Commercial ground is unforgiving that way: it either reads as cared for or it does not. Both seasons come down to arriving before the people do.
