West of town the granite dome of Greyrock stands over the Poudre Canyon, bare and unbothered, the landmark everyone in Laporte steers by without thinking about it. Grey Rock Landscape and Construction works the softer ground below it, keeping lawns mowed, trimmed, edged and cleaned up through the growing season around Laporte. Autumn is the hinge here: one week the grass is still climbing, the next there's white on the high ridges and the canyon mouth starts funneling cold air down onto the valley floor. From then on the work is snow — plowing drives, opening lots, clearing walks and entries so a property keeps functioning in weather that doesn't negotiate. Ground that holds up in both directions, green and frozen, is worth the trouble it takes.
