The pines around Essex Woods drop their needles onto the lawns below, and every spring the grass has to be coaxed back out from under them. Pine State Lawn Care does that coaxing across Bangor — raking the winter out, mowing on a weekly line, trimming close around trunks and posts, edging beds so the green stops where it's meant to. Cutting under conifers takes a light hand and a sharp blade, and the payoff is a lawn that looks even right through the dappled shade. Come autumn, those same yards get cleared down to bare grass ahead of the first hard frost. Green, level and clean at the margins is the whole ambition.
