On the Damariscotta side of Edgecomb the fields run down through spruce toward the river, and in July the evening light holds long enough to finish one more yard. Midcoast Residential Service works those hours — mowing, string trimming, edging, mulching, bed upkeep, and the heavier cleanups that bracket the season in April and November. Between the Route 1 traffic and the quiet back roads there is a great deal of ground and a great deal of variety, from close-clipped dooryards to rough field edges that simply need knocking down. Doing lawn work well here means reading each property rather than running the same pattern everywhere. Coverage takes in Edgecomb, Newcastle, Damariscotta, Wiscasset, Boothbay and Alna.
