By seven the Kenduskeag is still cool and the first mower of the morning is the loudest thing on the street. Al's Lawn Services cuts, trims and edges across Bangor — the tight lots off Ohio Street, the deep back yards that run down toward the stream, the strips of grass that make a whole block read as looked-after. Bangor grass comes on hard in June and asks for weekly attention, and there's real pleasure in a yard that never once gets away from you. Trimmed fence lines, edged walks, the drive blown clean, finished before the afternoon heat settles in. The Queen City improves one lawn at a time.
