Out past the pitch pines of Luther Forest, a Malta morning in January is blue-dark and about ten degrees, and the plows have already been through. Gravity Poperty Solutions runs that winter work — driveways opened, walkways cleared, ice treated so the first steps of the day are safe ones. When the pines start dropping needles and the grass takes off, the same properties get mowed, trimmed, mulched and cleaned up in spring and again in fall. Saratoga County asks a lot of a yard in both directions, and the answer is showing up either way. Malta and its neighboring towns fill out the route.
