The high country south of town keeps its snow all winter; Montrose keeps its own for a few days at a stretch and then hands it back to the sun. Cross Mountain Lawn Service works that shorter, sharper version, plowing and shoveling drives and walks when it lands, mowing and edging once the ground lets go. Midday in January can be bright enough here to melt what the morning froze and refreeze it by four, so ice gets taken as seriously as the snow does. Come summer the same properties want a straight cut and a clean border. One property, two seasons, one standard.
