The streets that climb above downtown Bucksport hold their ice the longest, shaded and steep, and January's first light usually finds a plow already up there. Clearing a driveway well means more than moving snow: the banks go back where they belong, the entry path gets shoveled to bare tread, and a scatter of sand on the grade lets the day simply start. Come green season those same properties want mowing on a steady week, trimming close to the stonework, and edges kept honest. Cleanups bookend all of it — grit and leaf litter out in April, the maples' drop cleared in October. Bucksport and the shore towns north of it.
