From the town landing you can see Swan Island sitting out in the Kennebec, and in August the river carries just enough breeze to make lawn work pleasant. Rocky Shore Pest Services handles lawn care in Richmond — steady mowing, string trimming and close edge work, with cleanups when the season opens and again when it closes. Riverside yards here hold moisture, grow thick, and need a regular cut to stay even. Late summer is the test: heat, then a soaking rain, then a week where everything comes on at once. A lawn held level through all of that is worth the effort it takes.
