Cloutier Landscaping adds junipers, mulch and stone
(Summer 2011) Cloutier Landscaping of Topsham helped move some junipers from a generous donor's yard to the park on the Topsham end of the Swinging Bridge. Glen and Gary Cloutier dug up the creeping shrubs and relocated them. Then they added stones and mulch to make it look beautiful.
