There is an hour at Perkins Cove before anybody else is up — boats swinging on their moorings, fog thinning off the Josias, the footbridge still and the lots empty. Patten Grounds Care Inc likes that hour for mowing and trimming, when the grass is cool and the streets belong to whoever got there first. Come winter those same streets need plowing and shoveling, because a beach town still has to open its doors when the Atlantic sends snow up over the dunes. Grounds care in Ogunquit runs from lawn upkeep and seasonal cleanups straight through to storm clearing, and it all serves one idea: a place by the sea that stays easy to walk into. Finish before the day begins, and the town gets to look effortless.
