At dusk the mesa above Jemez Pueblo keeps its color long after the valley has gone blue, and the day's last work gets done in that light. Lawn Service Pueblo keeps the village's yards mowed, edged and trimmed on a rhythm that suits grass in this country — steady through the warm months, tapering as the days shorten and the mountains up the canyon go white. Trimming around walls, posts and the odd cottonwood is where a yard is actually won or lost. Cleanups take the season's drop away so nothing sits through the winter. A lawn held to its edges against all that red country reads from a long way off, and getting it there is worth the early start.
