Gonic sits where the Cocheco drops past the old brick mill, and on an August afternoon the whole village runs hot and still. Brandos Lawncare LLC mows through that heat, keeping village yards and the wider lots out toward the country roads trim and even. Midsummer grass in Strafford County will brown out if you scalp it, so the deck comes up and the schedule holds steady instead. Trimming around fence posts, granite steps and mill-town foundations is slow work nobody notices unless it gets skipped. Then the sun drops behind the treeline, the lawns look sharp, and the truck heads home.
