About Solid Roots Garden Services

Thin soil over ledge, spruce roots braided through it, everything here holding on to what it can — that is Hancock ground in April, once the frost lets go and the whole place smells of thaw. Solid Roots Garden Services opens the season there, raking winter out of the lawn, clearing beds and treelines, then settling into the summer round of mowing, trimming and edging. Grass on this coast answers to fog as much as to rain, greening up overnight after one soft gray morning. By October the leaves and needles come off the turf and the ground gets put in order ahead of the freeze. Tended ground looks different from untended ground, even from the road, even in passing.
