Wampum Lake Woods sits at the edge of Thornton with old oaks holding a great deal of shade, and half the yards in town borrow the same problem. GTZ Landscaping works with it rather than against it — beds shaped and mulched, plantings set where they will actually take, grass cut and edged on a rhythm that suits how it grows in filtered light. There is landscape work in spring when the ground finally opens up, then steady mowing and trimming through the long green middle of the year. A yard here can go from overgrown to composed in an afternoon and stay that way with regular visits. Good ground, given attention, pays it back.
