Longs Peak stands over Mead like a fixed point, and the town's lawns lie flat and open beneath it, ringed by corn and beet ground that runs to the horizon. MJ Landscaping mows them — straight passes, trimmed fencelines, edges cut where turf meets concrete. Summer mornings out here are short and cool before the heat comes up off the fields, which is why the mowers roll early. By October the work turns to clearing leaves and putting yards down for the cold. It's plain work, and it shows plainly: a block where every strip of grass has been handled the same way, week after week.
