Noon in Country Knolls, the sun straight overhead, and a lawn either has structure or it does not. Apex Turf LLC is in the structure business: mowing lines pulled true, edges cut so the driveway carries a clean shoulder, turf fed and overseeded until the thin patches close. Clifton Park's ground is glacial sand and clay by turns, and grass here will tell you exactly what it needs if you are paying attention. Spring cleanup, summer maintenance, fall renovation, leaves off before the ground locks up. Across Clifton Park, Malta and Ballston Lake the aim stays the same — turf that looks deliberate from the street.
