The lanes at Grove Beach are narrow enough that two cars have to negotiate, and every cottage yard along them is its own small green room. Giovanni Lawn Care mows and trims those yards through the warm months, then returns in winter with a plow once the lanes fill in. Westbrook weather is a coastal argument — a foot of powder a mile inland, slush at the water — and both ends of town get the same attention. An edge cut straight along a gravel drive is worth stopping to look at, and so is a walkway shoveled clear before anyone has stepped in it. July or February, the idea holds: make the place easy to come home to.
