By late September the valley smells like turned earth, and the nights around Monte Vista drop hard enough to silver every lawn before sunrise. U.S. Tractor & Harvest, Inc. works that closing stretch of the year — final mows, edging, leaf and debris removal, and the fall cleanup that puts a yard to bed before the first real freeze. Grass here quits early and comes back late, so the last cut of the season matters more than most. Done right, a lawn goes under winter short and clear of matted leaves, then comes out in April without a fight. Spring work restarts the cycle, and the mowing runs on through the valley's brief, bright summer.
