A century ago this was shortgrass and homestead, and old Schweiger Ranch still sits out on its rise as a reminder of what the ground looked like before the lawns arrived. Colorado Lawn Guys mow, edge and maintain the turf that grew up around it, all through Lone Tree. Grass on the high plains is a choice rather than an accident — it wants tending, week after week, to stay thick and even. The rotation is simple and it is done properly: cut, trim the fence lines and walk edges, clear the concrete, move to the next. Spring brings that first cut when everything is soft and impossibly green for a few short weeks; fall brings the leaves, and the yards go into the cold tidy.
