Sheepscot Lake holds the middle of Palermo, and by July the whole town seems to tilt toward it — camp roads, cut fields, warm pine at midday. 207 yard guardians keeps those lots in shape with mowing, trimming and edging, plus the spring and fall cleanups a lakeside yard always ends up needing. Shorefront grass grows unevenly here, lush in the low spots and stubborn under the big pines, so it rewards attention rather than speed. Pulling off a lot with the edges cut in and the clippings swept off the dock path is its own quiet payment. Palermo, China, Windsor, Liberty, Freedom and Somerville are all served.
