Morning on the east side of DeKalb County arrives with dew heavy enough to soak a boot and light coming in flat and low through the pines. Eastside Landscaping is out in it early, cutting while the grass is still cool and the day has not yet gone heavy. Summer here is honest about its intentions — by mid-afternoon the thunderheads stack up over the I-20 corridor and the air turns a strange green — so the route runs ahead of the weather. Edges trimmed tight, walks blown bare, a yard that reads as cared for from the road. Lawn care for Lithonia and the neighborhoods spread out around it.
