GOAT Pest and Lawn

About GOAT Pest and Lawn

Escalante is a high-desert town strung along Scenic Byway 12, with the Aquarius Plateau rising to the north and the canyons of the Escalante River cutting away into slickrock country to the east. Under the town's tall cottonwoods, a lawn is a shaded green pause between red rock and open sky. GOAT Pest and Lawn tends that green, mowing to a uniform height, tidying every border and keeping each yard sharp through the parched weeks of early summer and the sudden monsoon storms that follow. Late in the day, when the cliffs glow orange and evening air drifts down off the plateau, a fresh-cut lawn smells like relief. It is a fine thing to keep a yard this cared for on the doorstep of so much wild country.
