A few miles out of town the ground stops pretending and simply becomes rock: Arabia Mountain, acres of bare gray granite where shallow pools flush red with tiny plants at the first warm stretch of the year. E's Lawn Care spends its days on the other kind of ground — the yards and side lots where grass has to be coaxed, kept and cut on time. Mowing, edging, string trimming, and every scrap of debris blown off and carried away. There is a plainness to this work and a quiet pride in it too, because a kept lawn tells a whole street that somebody came by. Serving Lithonia and the communities around it.
