Buck Creek runs the low seam of this city, and the yards that sit near it hold their water longer than anyone else's in Wyoming. Q Lawn Landscaping learns those grades by walking them in April — where a mower will float and where it will sink, which corner greens up first, which strip of ground stays sour until Memorial Day. From there the season builds: mowing on a cycle, trimming close, edging the walks, fresh mulch laid into the beds until the shrubs sit against clean dark ground. There is a particular good feeling in the last hour of a spring workday, when a property that was matted and gray in March has been brought all the way back. Green, cut, edged, standing up straight again.
