In Riverdale the day starts before the heat does. A & K Lawn Care Service works those early hours, when dew still beads on the Bermuda and the red Clayton County clay is cool through a boot sole. Mowing, trimming, edging and cleanup — the plain rhythm that takes a yard from shaggy to squared away before the neighborhood is fully awake. There is real satisfaction in the last pass, when the blower clears the walk and the whole lot reads clean from the street. Yards here grow fast and grow long, and this is work that keeps up with them.
