By mid-July the air in Silt is so dry it takes the sweat before you feel it, and a lawn will tell you the truth about itself by four in the afternoon. Evening is when the valley forgives — swallows working the fields, the heat sliding off toward the Roan Cliffs, water finally going down. Irrigation Monkey, LLC works the lawn side of that equation: mowing on a steady cycle, edging, string trimming and keeping turf neat through the long bright stretch of a western Colorado summer. Green out here is something you build on purpose. Holding onto it, week after week, is the whole job.
