The green season in Vail runs about a hundred days, and it shows up with all of its business at once. Landscape Technology Group spends that stretch keeping lawns even — mowing on a steady cycle, trimming close to walls and walkways, aerating and overseeding so thin soil above eight thousand feet can hold its grass. Around Ford Park in July the turf is the softest thing for miles, and it earns that. Then late September turns the aspens on the valley walls and the work swings to cleanups, hauling leaves and needles off before the first heavy snow presses them flat. Short season, long light, and a great deal of attention packed in between two frosts.
