Some yards get away from a person — one wet June, a couple of trips out of town, and the grass is past the knee. DM Project Eliminator does lawn care in Rifle for exactly those afternoons, mowing and trimming a place back into shape and then keeping it there on a rhythm. Summer evenings in the valley run long and gold, the light coming sideways down the avenues, and it is a fine hour to stand back and look at a lawn that has been cut clean. They take the ongoing rounds too, plus the leaf-and-branch work when the cottonwoods let go all at once in fall. Handing order back to somebody is a satisfying way to end a day.
