The Tioughnioga runs past Homer between hills that funnel weather straight down the valley, and the village green at the center still sets the tone for the whole place. Apex Construction & Landscape CNY works both halves of the Cortland County year — mowing, trimming and cleanups while the valley is green, plowing and ice control once it is white. Snow comes off these hills hard and often, so drives and walks get opened again and again rather than once. In the warm months the same properties get even cuts, sharp borders and mulched beds. Homer is a town that keeps its appearance, and helping it stay that way is a good day's work.
