Downtown Laconia is brick and river, the old mill standing over the water and Main Street holding its line the way mill towns do. DMPS LLC works the properties in and around it in both directions of the calendar: mowing, trimming, edging and spring and fall cleanups through the green months, then plowing, shoveling and salting once the cold sets in. City lots run tight, so snow has to go somewhere sensible and grass has to be cut around a great many corners. Doing both jobs at the same address means knowing where water runs and where ice will form long before it does. The round covers Laconia and the towns next door.
