Wheat Ridge grew carnations under glass before it grew subdivisions, and a little of that habit is still in the ground here — people expect things to look tended. Ground Up Gardening and Landscape, LLC keeps to that expectation with mowing, edging, trimming and the seasonal cleanups that decide how a yard carries itself. Spring on this bench of land arrives in fits, sixty degrees one week and a wet snow the next, and turf cut on a rhythm shrugs that off. The pleasure of the job is in the finish: passes laid straight, clippings gone, a clean bed line where lawn meets soil. The work runs through Wheat Ridge and Applewood and out into Arvada and Lakewood.
