November at Basin Point is bare branches and gray water, the season when a property either got put away right or it didn't. Pineland Property Maintenance LLC spends the green half of the year mowing and trimming Harpswell lawns, then spends the fall stripping the leaves off so the turf can breathe under whatever comes next. Once the ground hardens the trucks turn to plowing, with the drives toward Potts Harbor opened early, walkways cleared, the banks pushed back far enough that the next storm has somewhere to go. It is steady attention of the kind a house on the water needs and rarely announces. Do it right and by mid-December the place is already ahead of the weather.
