On the older streets off Macon Street the yards are shaded and modest, and the work is all close-in: trimming around a mailbox post, easing over the roots of a water oak, edging where the sidewalk has heaved a little. Hps lawn care handles that kind of Tuesday in McDonough — mowing, edging, string trimming, then blowing the walk and drive back down to bare concrete. Small lots reward attention, because every corner is visible from the front door. These streets have been mowed by somebody every summer since they were laid out, and keeping that going is its own kind of continuity. The yard looks like someone took the time, because someone did.
