Weather here usually shows up from the northwest, sliding down off the Adirondack foothills before it ever reaches the Route 50 corridor. Saratoga Scapes LLC watches that sky both ways — for the March storm that has to be plowed before commuters roll toward Malta, and for the first mild week in April that wakes the grass up. Winter work is measured in cleared drives and lots with the corners pushed back properly, so the next storm has somewhere to go. Growing season is measured in lawns that stay tidy week after week, trimmed close to the foundation and edged along the walk. Ballston Spa sits between village streets and open country, and the crew works comfortably in both.
