Around the courthouse square the brick holds the heat, and at noon the shade beneath the awnings is the only cool thing downtown. Elite Lawn Care LLC keeps Thomaston grass looking the way the town looks on a good day — cut on schedule, edged hard along the sidewalk so the line reads from clear across the street, trimmed close where a mower cannot reach. Storefront strips, church lots and front yards a few blocks off Main all get the same attention and the same finish. There is a particular pleasure in leaving a property where the only thing left to do is stand back and look at it. The marquee lights come on hours later; the lawn holds its shape all week.
