First light in Silt lands on the Roan Cliffs north of town and works its way down, so the high rock is burning orange while the streets are still gray. It is a good hour to start. Mountain View Landscaping & Maintenance covers the year in two halves — mowing, edging, trimming and yard maintenance through the growing months, then plowing, shoveling and ice control through the frozen ones. The valley runs narrow here between the river and the ridges, so the same properties come around again and again, and knowing them saves minutes in a storm. Whatever the month, the aim is a place that looks tended from the road.
