You’re not looking for the cheapest grass cutting service in Ballston Lake. You’re looking for someone who shows up when they say they will, does the work right, and doesn’t leave a mess behind.
That’s what lawn maintenance should look like. Regular mowing that keeps your grass healthy, not scalped. Shrub trimming services that shape your landscaping instead of hacking it back. Weed trimming along edges and beds so your property looks finished, not half-done.
When you hire professional lawn maintenance, you get your weekends back. No more spending Saturday mornings pushing a mower or Sunday afternoons raking. You get time with your family, time to relax, and a yard that actually looks maintained.
The difference shows up in how your property looks from the street. Clean lines. Consistent care. No overgrown corners or patchy spots that make you cringe every time you pull into the driveway.
We’ve been operating in Saratoga County since 1997. We started in logging, moved into excavation, and added lawn maintenance because our customers kept asking for it.
Josh is on almost every job. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how we run the business. When you call, you’re talking to someone who actually does the work, not a call center three states away.
We know Ballston Lake. We know the soil here, the weather patterns, what spring cleanup looks like after an upstate winter. We’ve worked on properties throughout the area, and we understand what it takes to keep a lawn healthy in this climate.
You reach out by phone or text. We come look at your property, talk through what you need, and give you a clear price. No hidden fees, no surprises later.
Once we’re scheduled, we show up on the same day each week or every other week, depending on what makes sense for your lawn. We mow, trim, edge, and clean up clippings. If you’ve got shrubs that need attention, we handle that too.
Spring means cleanup—clearing winter debris, getting beds ready, making sure drainage is working. Summer is about consistent mowing and keeping growth under control. Fall brings leaf cleanup and preparing your lawn for winter.
You don’t have to manage us. We show up, do the work, and move on. If something needs attention—a drainage issue, a dead shrub, an area that’s not growing right—we’ll let you know. You get a text when we’re done.

Lawn maintenance in Ballston Lake means more than just cutting grass. You’re dealing with four real seasons, not the mild climate other parts of the country get. That changes what your property needs.
Regular mowing keeps your grass at the right height—not too short, which stresses it in summer heat, and not too long, which invites pests and disease. We adjust cutting height based on the season and how fast your grass is growing.
Weed trimming service covers edges along driveways, walkways, and beds. Shrub trimming services keep your landscaping shaped and healthy. We’re not talking about turning your bushes into topiaries—just keeping them looking intentional instead of wild.
Seasonal work matters here. Spring cleanup gets rid of the mess winter left behind. Fall cleanup handles leaves before they smother your grass over winter. Both make a real difference in how your lawn looks come spring.
In Ballston Lake, properties average around $400,000. Your lawn affects that value. Overgrown grass, patchy spots, and neglected beds tell buyers you didn’t maintain the property. Regular lawn care protects what you’ve invested.
Most residential properties in Ballston Lake run between $75 and $125 per visit for basic lawn maintenance, depending on lot size and what’s included. If you’re on a weekly schedule during growing season, expect around $300-400 per month. Biweekly service cuts that roughly in half.
That covers mowing, trimming, edging, and cleanup. Shrub trimming services and seasonal work like spring or fall cleanup are usually quoted separately because the time involved varies based on your property.
The price reflects what you’re actually getting—professional equipment, someone who shows up consistently, and work done right. DIY lawn maintenance costs less upfront, but factor in your time, equipment costs, fuel, and maintenance. Most homeowners in Ballston Lake make good money. Spending your Saturday behind a mower doesn’t make financial sense when you could be doing literally anything else.
Weekly during peak growing season—late April through June, and again in September. Your grass grows fast when temperatures are moderate and rain is consistent. Skip a week and you’re dealing with overgrowth that’s harder to cut and looks rough afterward.
Biweekly works for July and August when growth slows in the heat, and again in October as things wind down. Some customers stay on weekly all season because they want their property looking sharp consistently. That’s your call based on budget and standards.
Spring and fall cleanup are separate from regular mowing. Spring cleanup happens once in April after everything thaws. Fall cleanup usually takes two or three visits in October and November as leaves come down. Trying to handle falling leaves with your regular mowing schedule doesn’t work—you end up with matted leaves smothering your grass over winter.
Basic mowing means someone cuts your grass and leaves. Full lawn maintenance includes mowing plus trimming, edging, blowing off hard surfaces, and hauling away clippings. It’s the difference between a half-finished job and a property that looks maintained.
Trimming gets the areas a mower can’t reach—around trees, along fences, next to your foundation. Edging creates clean lines along driveways and walkways. Blowing clears grass clippings off your driveway, walkway, and patio so you’re not tracking them into your house.
Professional lawn maintenance also means someone’s paying attention to your property. If drainage is causing problems, if a section is dying off, if pests are damaging your lawn—you get a heads up before small issues become expensive problems. You’re not just paying for grass cutting service. You’re paying for someone who knows what they’re looking at.
No, lawn maintenance stops once the ground freezes and grass goes dormant, usually by late November. There’s nothing to maintain—your lawn is essentially asleep until spring.
What we do handle is snow removal. We’re expanding into commercial and industrial snow removal this winter, and we take on residential customers as well. Same equipment, same reliability, different season.
Spring lawn maintenance starts back up in April once everything thaws and growth begins. That’s when spring cleanup happens—raking out dead growth, clearing beds, getting your property ready for the growing season. Most customers schedule us to come back automatically each spring rather than having to remember to call.
Time. If you’re working full-time, managing a household, and trying to have any kind of life, lawn maintenance eats up hours you don’t have. A typical Ballston Lake property takes two to three hours to mow, trim, and clean up properly. Do that weekly and you’ve burned half your Saturday.
Equipment costs add up. A decent mower runs $400-800. Add a trimmer, edger, blower, fuel, oil, maintenance, and repairs. You’re into it for over $1,000 before you’ve cut grass once. Professional lawn maintenance spreads that cost across multiple customers, which is why hiring out often costs less than DIY when you factor in everything.
Quality matters if you care how your property looks. Professional equipment cuts better. Experience means knowing the right height for the season, how to handle slopes without scalping, when to sharpen blades. Your lawn looks better when someone who does this daily is handling it instead of you figuring it out as you go.
Reliability. Can they show up consistently on the same day each week, or are you going to spend your time chasing them down? Do they answer their phone, or do calls disappear into voicemail?
Local experience matters. Ballston Lake isn’t the same as maintaining lawns in North Carolina or Texas. We get real winters, heavy spring rains, summer heat, and fall leaf loads that bury properties. You want someone who understands what lawns need here, not someone applying generic advice from the internet.
Clear pricing with no surprise fees. You should know exactly what you’re paying before work starts. If they can’t give you a straight answer on cost, walk away. Also ask what’s included—some companies charge extra for bagging clippings or blowing off hard surfaces. Make sure you’re comparing the same scope of work when you’re looking at prices.
