Boulder Basin Maintenance Yard

About Boulder Basin Maintenance Yard

In Boulder City even the bighorn sheep know where the good grass grows: they come down from the River Mountains to graze the lawns at Hemenway Valley Park, horns curled, entirely unbothered by the people watching. This is a town raised from the desert in 1931 to house the workers building Hoover Dam, its shade trees and green squares set into the dry ground on purpose, and it still wears that plan with pride. Boulder Basin Maintenance Yard keeps lawns here in the same deliberate spirit, mowing to an even finish, trimming along curbs and sidewalks, and clearing out the weeds that sneak in after a rare winter rain. On a mild March morning, with Lake Mead lying blue just east of town, a freshly cut yard looks like it was part of the blueprint all along. The satisfaction is in the plainness of it: straight lines, level turf, nothing left ragged.
