From Port Kent the ferry cuts across Lake Champlain twice an hour in summer, and the yards above the dock look east into all that water. EverGreen Landscaping and Excavation Inc. keeps that stretch through the year — mowing and trimming, spring and fall cleanups, then plowing, shoveling and sanding once 9N goes white. Shoreline lots take the wind first and hold the last snowbank longest. So the summer cut is held even against the lake breeze, and the winter drives are opened wide and opened early. Between the shore and the foothills that is the rhythm: keep it green, keep it clear, keep it easy to come home to.
