Air this dry takes something back from a lawn every single day of June, and anyone who tends grass on the Front Range learns to read a yard for thirst the way a farmer reads a sky. Kenton Landscapes and Irrigation works Stonegate through that long bright stretch, mowing tall enough to keep the crowns cool, trimming the corners a mower cannot reach, and cutting clean edges where turf meets concrete. Late summer here rewards patience: the mornings turn cool while the afternoons still bake, and the grass thickens up again almost overnight. Then come the cleanups, when the yard is put down for the year. A green lawn on the high plains is not an accident, and it is a pleasure to keep one going.
