On a July morning in Gilford the lake is glass until nine, and Gunstock stands over town with its trails gone green. Turf Prep mows and trims and edges straight through that season — the cottages down toward Ellacoya, the neighborhoods under the Belknaps, the lawns that get looked at by summer people and next-door neighbors alike. Cut height matters here, and so does a clean line where turf meets walk, and so does raking out in spring and clearing leaves in the fall. A good lawn near the big lake is mostly discipline: same day, same height, nothing left lying. When the mower pulls off and the stripes run straight down toward the water, the yard says the season is going well.
