Branford gathers around its Green — big trees, steeples, salt in the air even a half mile up from the water. Advantage Lawn Care LLC keeps the yards on the streets running off it: regular mowing, trimming and edging, mulch in the beds, hedges kept even, and cleanups when the season opens and again when it closes. Shoreline grass grows hard and fast in June, and the difference between a mowed lawn and a finished one lives entirely in the edges and the blow-off at the end. Standing at the curb afterward with the lines straight and the walk swept is the part worth showing up for. Branford and the towns beside it, one week to the next.
