Bridgeport sits where the Pequonnock River loosens into Long Island Sound, and the salt air that drifts up past the brick mills and Lindley Street rooftops keeps the grass here growing long into October. M&G Landscaping & Lawn Care LLC works that coastal ground — mowing and lawn care, tree and hedge trimming, planting and mulching, spring and fall clean ups, power washing and gutter cleaning, and the tended quiet of cemetery grounds and burial services. There is a plain pleasure in it: a hedge squared against a clapboard wall, dark mulch banked around new plantings, a lawn cut into clean parallel bands that hold their shape until the next pass. When winter comes off the water and lays wet, heavy snow across Fairfield County driveways, the plow goes out and opens a black lane to the street before the day begins. From Bridgeport out to Fairfield, Stratford, Trumbull, Monroe, Shelton, Milford, Westport and Norwalk, the work leaves the same mark — a property that looks cared for, right down to the edge.
