Deering Ridge rises just enough to give a yard up there a long view and a hard wind. Deering Ridge Landscaping works the ridge and the town spread out below it, mowing through the green months, trimming and edging until a lawn has a real border again, and hauling off the leaves once the oaks finally let go. Come December the same roads want plowing — driveways opened, walks shoveled, sand down on the grades that go slick well before anything else in Waterboro does. There is a particular satisfaction in a ridge driveway cleared to the gravel by first light, the whole hillside white behind it. Then the April cleanup starts the cycle over and the year turns again.
