A July evening in Ellsworth smells like cut grass and brook water, and the last mower of the day is finishing a lawn somewhere off the Bangor road. Phillips Lawn & Landscape runs those rounds — mowing, cutting in around the fence posts, edging the walks and drives, and hauling off the leaves once October empties the maples. The year opens with a cleanup, pulling winter's grit and dead thatch out of the turf so new growth comes in thick and even. Nothing complicated about any of it; it simply has to be done right and done on time. A well-kept yard is how a neighborhood looks after itself.
