Along the Uncompahgre the cottonwoods turn all at once in late September, and for one week Ridgway runs gold from the riverbank to the edge of the hay ground. Climb! Tree Services works the lawns under those trees — mowing through a short mountain summer, trimming around trunks and posts, then lifting the leaf fall off before snow arrives to press it into the grass. High-country turf grows fast and briefly, so a weekly cut is what keeps it even instead of shaggy. Spring cleanup clears the dropped limbs and winter grit the valley leaves behind. The yard ends up looking like Ridgway on a good day: open, orderly, easy to stand around in.
