Winter here is thin and bright. Snow comes down dry, dusts the junipers, and is mostly gone off the south-facing walls by noon, leaving the ground hard and the grass the color of straw. Los Primos Landscaping uses the cold months for the work nobody sees — cleanups, hauling off what fall left behind, getting yards around La Cienega squared away before the first warm week sets everything moving. Then the season turns and they are back to the weekly rhythm of mowing, trimming and edging. A lawn kept up across a full year never needs rescuing in April; it simply picks up where it left off, which is the easier way to live with one.
