From Loveland's west side, Longs Peak and the Twin Sisters keep their snow well into June while the bluegrass down here has been green since April. Blue Mountain Lawn Care opens its season with that first cut of the year — the one that takes the winter scruff off a yard and makes an entire street look awake. Mowing, trimming and edging carry the summer, with aeration in the fall to open the soil back up after months of hot afternoons and foot traffic. Loveland lawns ask for patience, because water is measured here and the grass knows it. The reward is turf that stays even and dense right through to leaf drop, when the cleanups take over.
