Totoket Mountain runs the length of North Branford like a spine of traprock, and everything below it — the Farm River, the wide still water of Lake Gaillard, the field edges out toward Northford — grows on the soil that ridge left behind. Go Green Landscapers LLC works those yards straight through the mowing season, cutting on a schedule the grass can keep up with, edging walks and drives, trimming what the mower cannot reach, and clearing the beds in spring and fall. Warm mornings here start with mist off the reservoir and burn clear by nine. A North Branford lawn in June, cut across the slope with the ridge standing behind it, is worth stopping the truck to look at.
