On a June evening the walkway along the Penobscot fills with people, and the light off the water carries all the way up the side streets of Bucksport. Lawns that catch that low sun show every line you cut into them, so it is worth cutting them straight. Weekly mowing, careful trimming, crisp edges where turf meets pavement — small things that add up to a yard you notice from the sidewalk. Twice a year the heavier work comes around: the spring rake-out that clears winter off the grass, and the autumn haul once the leaves finally let go. Bucksport and the villages up the river road.
