From the Moriarty flats the Sandias sit low and blue along the western horizon, and the valley in between is mostly sky. Stonegate Turfgrass Ranch keeps home lawns going in that wide-open country, mowing on a steady cycle, cutting clean lines at the walks and drives, trimming close where a mower deck simply cannot reach. In a place this exposed an even, well-kept lawn reads from a long way off, which is half the pleasure of it. Cool nights up here slow the grass down, so the cut follows what the season is actually doing rather than the calendar. The finish is uncomplicated: level turf, defined borders, nothing left scattered on the walk.
