In late May the snow line finally backs up the flanks of Mount Sneffels and Ridgway goes green almost overnight, all at once, like a decision. MOUNTAIN GROWN DESIGN WORKS, LLC starts cutting then and runs straight through to the first heavy frost — mowing weekly, trimming around rock, post and trunk, keeping every edge defined. Alpenglow lands on the peaks at the end of a working day, and a yard finished under that light looks like it belongs to the mountain behind it. Cleanups take both ends of the calendar, winter's leavings out in spring and the leaf fall out before the cold sets. Short season up here, and it gets full attention.
