Red Sand Radiance

About Red Sand Radiance

Late in the day, when the red bluffs above St. George catch the low sun and glow the color the town is named for in every postcard, a rare morning snow is usually already gone from anywhere that light reaches. Red Sand Radiance works the shaded yards and north-facing driveways where it isn't — clearing walkways and drives, laying ice melt on the steps that stay slick longest after a storm. Their crews chase the shade the way most landscapers here chase the sun, since that's where the work still is by afternoon. It's a small, particular niche in a desert town, built around the corners winter forgets to leave.
