Morning arrives in Burke off the water first, a low mist lifting from Burke Lake while the shoreline path is still empty. A&E Sons Landscaping LLC works the hours after that, mowing and trimming the yards set back in the oaks between the lake and the neighborhoods around it. There is a real pleasure in the pass that finally squares a lawn against its walk, and in the clippings swept off the concrete so the line reads clean from the street. Spring comes on fast here — the grass wants cutting twice before April is out — and the route stays ahead of it. By evening the yards along these streets hold their stripes into the long light.
