South of Rangely, Highway 139 runs up into Canyon Pintado, where painted rock faces have held their color against the weather for a thousand years. RJL Lawn & Landscape works the town at the mouth of that country — mowing, string trimming and shaping the line where lawn surrenders to gravel and rabbitbrush. High desert evenings cool off fast, and grass cut late in the day stands up better through the next hot one, so the route is built around that. Twice a year the cleanup comes through: winter debris out in spring, dead growth and leaves out in fall. A trimmed yard in Rio Blanco County is a stubborn, satisfying kind of green.
