Downtown Laconia is built around a river — the Winnipesaukee slides under Main Street past brick that has watched a lot of Julys go by. Boucher's Landscaping tends the green edges of that city: mowing, edging, mulch beds worked dark against the grass, and cleanups when the seasons turn over. Lakes Region summers are short and loud, and a lawn has to earn its keep in about twenty good weeks. There is real satisfaction in the last pass of an afternoon, when the mower shuts off and the river noise comes back in. Laconia yards, kept even and kept sharp.
