Half of Longmont's front windows face west on purpose, and on a June evening the range goes pink right about the time people start dragging the hose out. Mountain View Landscaping keeps the foreground worthy of the backdrop: mowing on a steady cycle, edging the walks, shaping shrubs so nothing crowds the door or the view. Summer at this elevation is bright and dry and long, and turf answers to consistency more than to anything else. Spring and fall bring the cleanups, the leaves, the beds refreshed and level. The mountains handle their part; the lawn is the part somebody has to show up for.
