East of Edmond the ground leans down toward Arcadia Lake, and on a still summer morning the air off that water moves through the yards before the heat does. American Western Lawn and Landscape mows in that window, blades turning while the grass is still cool, trim work taken close along fence posts and mailbox stones. Drives and walks get blown clean, so the concrete stays bare and the lawn ends in one unbroken line. By the time the sun clears the treetops, the block reads tidy end to end. It is lawn care for Edmond homes on the lake side of town and the streets running back west toward the highway.
