August in Lafayette holds its heat until the Flatirons go gold off to the southwest, and then the whole town steps outside. Rocky Mountain Lawns keeps yards ready for that hour: mowing, trimming, edging, and cleanups that leave a lawn even and clear from fence line to curb. Turf on this side of the range asks for a high cut and a regular one — the sun sits close at this elevation, and any shortcut shows up within a week. A green lawn under a red-rock evening is one of the plain pleasures of living at the foot of the mountains. Keeping it that way is the work.
