About Brouse.House.Gardens

Bangor holds its old money and its old trees on the same streets, and the lawns beneath those trees have been mown by somebody every summer for well over a century. Brouse.House.Gardens carries that on — cutting, trimming to the walk's edge, and running a border line that makes even a small city lot look composed. The Kenduskeag threads right through downtown, and the neighborhoods above it stay cool and shaded, which means the grass grows slower and greener than the open ground out past the woods. Spring cleanup here is a real event: everything the winter shoved around has to come off before the first cut can look like anything. By July the mowing is steady, the corners are crisp, and the street reads as one continuous green.
