By two o'clock on a July afternoon the thunderheads are already stacking over the mountains west of Meridian, and the mowing gets done ahead of them. Blade Runner Lawn Maintenance keeps grass cut, edges defined and trim work tight through the hottest stretch of the Douglas County summer, when irrigated green is the only green for miles. Turf at six thousand feet asks for some respect — cut it too low in the heat and it tells on you all August. So the deck goes up, the passes stay even, and the lawn comes through the dry weeks still holding its color. Homes and business lots across Meridian and neighboring Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch get the same treatment.
