Always Green Utah

About Always Green Utah

Late afternoon in Saratoga Springs arrives with a long shadow: Lake Mountain leans east and lays it right across the west-side yards. That is the hour Always Green Utah likes for the last pass of the day — mowing, trimming and edging once the heat has let go of the gravel and the grass stands back up. Up toward Israel Canyon the sagebrush runs clear to the property line, so a lawn out here is a decision somebody made and keeps making, one week at a time. The payoff is small and exact: stripes that run true to the driveway, a border cut clean where turf meets rock. Green is a verb in this valley, and that is how this lawn care crew treats it.
