Old Town Longmont is a grid of alleys and hundred-foot lots, and underneath all of it sits clay that bakes to brick by August. MR Landscape Solutions works with that ground instead of arguing with it, aerating in spring so water reaches the roots and mowing high once the heat sets in. Trimming, edging and weeding keep the small things from taking over between visits. Fall means leaves off the turf and beds put down for the cold. It is plain work, and a thick, even yard on a narrow old street is the entire argument for it.
