East of the river the ground rises toward the old mounds, and sunrise over Macon East crosses those flat green crowns before it ever reaches the houses. Mowtown Landscaping works this side — mowing, edging, trimming and yard cleanup through the Emery Highway neighborhoods and the streets off Jeffersonville Road. There is rhythm in the name and rhythm in the work: pass after pass, a yard resolving into stripes and straight borders. Then the trimmer, then the blower, then on to the next drive. East Macon grows hard all summer, and the route keeps pace with it.
