Aspen Landscaping

About Aspen Landscaping

Up where Spanish Fork Canyon opens toward the valley, the slopes that turn gold with aspen leaves each October carry a different kind of white by December, and the wind funneling past the turbines at the canyon's mouth drives it straight down into town. Aspen Landscaping starts on the exposed cul-de-sacs nearest that wind, breaking the packed crust before it glazes into ice underfoot. Grit goes down ahead of the morning commute, and each driveway gets pushed back to bare asphalt rather than left half-cleared. The work is plain, but a farm town at the base of a wind-scoured canyon depends on it. By the time the sun climbs high enough to warm Main Street's shopfronts, the blocks nearest the canyon mouth are already done, the hardest part of the day behind them.
