Out toward Stroudwater the Fore River lays itself out in marsh grass, and in October that grass goes gold while the oaks above it hold on red. G.L. Todd Landscaping, LLC works the whole arc of the Portland year — mowing, trimming and edging in season, fall cleanups and leaf removal when the color drops, then plowing, shoveling and sanding once the tidal wind carries ice instead of rain. A lawn cut to an even height and a driveway scraped down to pavement are the same idea done twice: leave the place plainly better than you found it. Knowing a property in July makes the February pass quicker, because the curves and the soft spots are already memorized. The company serves Portland along with Westbrook, South Portland, Scarborough and Gorham.
