On the older streets of Rifle the yards run square and shaded and the sidewalk goes right past the front step, so it shows plainly when a place is kept up. Sam's Lawn Services LLC handles that keeping-up all the way around the year: mowing, edging, trimming and seasonal cleanups while things are growing, then plowing and shoveling once they are not. Summer work ends with the smell of cut grass; winter work ends with a scraped drive and treated concrete. Knowing a property in both seasons makes each one easier — you already know where the gate sticks and where the water sits. Either way, the house reads as looked-after from the curb.
