March in the La Plata valley arrives sideways: wind off the mesas, dust hanging in the light, and then one warm week when the grass remembers what it is. QT Landscape meets the season there, opening with cleanups that pull dead thatch, blown tumbleweed and broken branches off the lawn before the first cut of the year. From then on it is mowing on schedule through the long bright northern summer, with string trimming around fences, mailbox posts and the margins of flowerbeds. Every visit ends with the edges defined and the walks blown clear, because a yard reads as finished from its borders inward. Under a sky this wide, a well-kept lawn is a small deliberate kindness to everyone who passes it.
