The Biggest Little Yard

About The Biggest Little Yard

More than a century ago Goldfield was the largest city in Nevada, a gold-rush town of stone banks and a four-story hotel; today it is a hushed high-desert community with plenty of room to breathe. The Biggest Little Yard borrows Reno's famous slogan and plants it here, where a patch of tended grass beside a weathered porch carries real presence against the rust-colored hills. Lawn care in Goldfield is about small spaces given full attention: a mow, a trim, a tidy border, and the whole lot reads as loved from the road. Spring winds race across the flats past the old Esmeralda County Courthouse, and summer burns bright and dry, so every green square is a little act of faith. In a town that still remembers its gold, a tended yard is its own kind of strike.
