The strip between sidewalk and curb is the hardest ground in any Loveland neighborhood — full sun, heat rolling off the asphalt, and whatever the plow shoved there back in February. Fresh Curb Co. treats that narrow band as seriously as the rest of the yard, mowing, trimming and edging so the line at the concrete stays crisp the length of the block. A house is read from the street first, and the street reads the edge before it reads anything else. Through the long Front Range summer the cuts stay regular, and in autumn the leaves come off the walks and gutters about as fast as the trees drop them. It is small work, done often, and it changes how an entire block looks.
