The road toward Madison out of Eatonton catches the sun early, and there is often a work truck on it before the town is properly awake, first stop of a long list. Sanders Properties keeps grounds across Putnam County that way — a circuit of addresses, each one mowed, trimmed, edged and blown off in its turn, then again the following week. Properties look after themselves for exactly nobody; what keeps them presentable is somebody arriving on schedule. Seasonal cleanups handle the leaves, the storm debris and the corners that want to go overgrown, and the beds are kept mulched and neat. By the end of a route day the whole list looks like one hand went over it, because one did.
