The storms that count here come up over the Palmer Divide and unload on Parker overnight, when the whole town is asleep and the streetlights are the only thing moving. The Perfect Lawn Landscaping, Inc. is out in that dark with plows down and shovels working, so a driveway off Hilltop Road or a lot near Mainstreet is open and treated before the first commuter turns a key. Come June the same hands trade blades for mowers — cutting, edging, trimming and feeding lawns through the long bright Colorado summer. Snow removal and lawn care are really one job split across the calendar, and both get measured the same way: a cleared surface, an even line, nothing left half-done. The work runs across Parker and out to the towns that share its weather.
