The route starts early, while Eagle Creek is still mostly sprinkler heads and birdsong and the sun is barely over the eastern plains. Jayson Lawn Care runs it yard by yard — mow, edge, trim the fence line and the tree rings, clear the drive and walk down to clean concrete, latch the gate, on to the next. In this thin bright air the grass grows in bursts after every rain and then sits still for a week, so the rhythm matters more than the muscle. Spring and fall bring the heavier passes, beds cleared and leaves carried off. By late afternoon there's a line of tidy front yards behind the truck, which is a good way to finish a day.
