You’re looking at a property worth over $400,000 in Charlton, NY. The last thing you need is a patchy lawn or overgrown shrubs dragging down what you’ve invested in.
Professional lawn maintenance means your grass gets cut at the right height for the season. Your shrubs stay trimmed before they block windows or crowd walkways. Weeds get handled before they take over flower beds.
It’s not about perfection for perfection’s sake. It’s about protecting what you’ve built and not spending your only free day pushing a mower around in July heat. You get consistent care from people who know what New York’s seasons do to lawns—and what to do about it.
The outcome is simple: your property looks maintained, your curb appeal stays strong, and you’re not scrambling to catch up every time you get a free weekend.
We started as a logging operation back in 1997. We’ve been working properties across Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties ever since—clearing land, prepping sites, and handling the kind of work that requires knowing the ground you’re on.
Josh runs the operation with his son, who joined as a partner in 2022. It’s a family business, and Josh is on almost every job. Not because we don’t trust our crew, but because that’s how we’ve always done it.
Charlton’s been around since 1792—quiet, rural, built on farms and family-owned land. We get that. Your property isn’t just an address. It’s where you live, and it deserves to be treated that way.
First, we walk your property. We look at what you’ve got—lawn size, shrub placement, problem areas where weeds keep coming back. We talk about what you actually need, not what sounds good on a brochure.
Then we give you a clear estimate. No hidden fees, no surprise charges later. You know what you’re paying before we touch a blade of grass.
Once we’re scheduled, we show up on time with the right equipment. We mow at the proper height for your grass type and the season. We trim shrubs so they look intentional, not hacked. We edge walkways and driveways so everything looks finished.
After the work’s done, we clean up. Clippings get cleared, debris gets hauled, and your property looks like professionals were there—not like someone just showed up and left a mess. If something needs attention between visits, we let you know before it becomes a bigger problem.

Lawn maintenance in Charlton, NY covers more than just running a mower across your yard every other week. You’re dealing with soil that gets compacted over winter, grass that burns out in August heat, and shrubs that grow faster than you’d think between May and September.
Our grass cutting service includes mowing at the right height for the season, edging along driveways and walkways, and trimming around obstacles. We’re not scalping your lawn in spring or leaving it too long going into fall.
Shrub trimming services keep your landscaping in check. Overgrown shrubs don’t just look sloppy—they block light, crowd foundations, and create spots where pests settle in. We trim them back so they stay healthy and proportional to your property.
Weed trimming service targets the areas your mower can’t reach—fence lines, around trees, along garden beds. Weeds don’t take a day off, and neither do we. If you need seasonal cleanup in spring or fall, we handle that too—raking, debris removal, and prep work so your lawn’s ready for what’s coming next.
Most properties in Charlton, NY need mowing every 7 to 10 days during the growing season, which runs from late April through October. That’s when grass grows fastest and waiting too long means you’re cutting off too much at once, which stresses the lawn.
In peak summer—July and August—you might stretch it to every two weeks if we hit a dry spell and growth slows down. In early spring and late fall, every two weeks is usually enough since the grass isn’t pushing as hard.
Shrub trimming happens less often. Most shrubs need attention two to three times a season—once in late spring after the first growth spurt, again mid-summer, and possibly once more in early fall depending on the species. If you’ve got fast growers like privet or forsythia, you might need an extra trim.
The short answer: weekly or biweekly mowing during the season, and shrub work as needed. We’ll tell you what makes sense for your property after we see it.
Cheap lawn care usually means someone shows up, mows fast, and leaves. They’re not checking mower blade sharpness, they’re not adjusting cutting height for the season, and they’re definitely not telling you when your lawn’s got a problem brewing.
Professional lawn maintenance in Charlton, NY means we’re looking at your property like it matters. Dull blades tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which opens it up to disease. Cutting too short in summer scorches the lawn. Cutting too high going into winter invites snow mold.
We also catch things early. If your lawn’s thinning out in spots, we’ll mention it before it turns into a mud patch. If your shrubs are getting leggy or diseased, we’ll point it out. Cheap services don’t do that because they’re in and out in 15 minutes.
You’re paying for equipment that’s maintained, people who know what they’re doing, and someone who’s actually paying attention to your property. That’s the difference. It costs more because it’s worth more.
Yes. Spring cleanup usually happens in late March or early April once the ground thaws and you can see what winter left behind. We’re raking out dead grass and matted leaves, clearing debris from flower beds, trimming back dead growth on perennials, and getting your lawn ready to green up.
Fall cleanup is bigger. We’re dealing with leaf removal, final mowing before winter, cutting back spent plants, and clearing out anything that’ll turn into a soggy mess under snow. Thick leaf cover left on your lawn over winter creates dead spots and invites disease, so getting it cleared matters.
Both cleanups also give us a chance to spot problems. Spring is when we see winter damage—heaved roots, broken branches, areas where water pooled and killed grass. Fall is when we see what needs attention before the ground freezes.
If you want seasonal cleanup added to your regular lawn maintenance, we can schedule it. If you just need a one-time visit, that works too. Either way, we’re hauling the debris off your property—not piling it in the woods and calling it done.
Weed trimming service covers the spots your mower can’t reach—fence lines, around trees and posts, along garden beds, next to foundations, and anywhere grass meets hardscape. These are the areas that make a lawn look finished or sloppy, depending on whether someone bothered to trim them.
We use commercial-grade string trimmers, not the homeowner models that bog down or break line every five minutes. That means we’re getting clean edges without tearing up grass or flinging debris all over your driveway.
This isn’t the same as weed control, which is about killing dandelions and crabgrass. Weed trimming is about cutting down whatever’s growing in areas the mower misses. If you’ve got actual weed problems—stuff spreading through your lawn or taking over beds—that’s a separate conversation about treatment and timing.
Most professional lawn maintenance includes weed trimming as part of the standard visit. We’re not mowing your lawn and then leaving a shaggy border around every tree. It’s part of doing the job right, and it’s included in what you’re paying for.
Lawn maintenance costs in Charlton, NY typically run between $40 and $130 per visit depending on property size, what’s included, and how much trimming and edging is involved. A standard residential lawn—around a quarter to half an acre—usually falls in the $50 to $75 range for mowing, trimming, and edging.
If you’re adding shrub trimming services, that’s extra because it’s more time and different equipment. Small shrub work might add $30 to $50 per visit. Larger properties with extensive landscaping can run higher, especially if there’s a lot of detail work.
Seasonal cleanups cost more than regular visits because there’s more labor involved. Spring cleanup might run $150 to $300 depending on how much debris we’re clearing. Fall cleanup with full leaf removal can go higher if you’ve got a lot of mature trees dropping leaves.
We give you a clear estimate upfront after we see your property. No guessing, no “depends on what we find” nonsense. You’ll know what it costs before we start, and that number doesn’t change unless you ask us to do something extra.
Because we’ve been working properties in this area since 1997, and we’re not trying to be the cheapest option. We’re trying to be the one you call back every time because the work’s done right and we’re not cutting corners.
Josh is on almost every job. That’s not something most companies can say once they grow past a certain size, but it’s how we operate. You’re not getting a different crew every week who doesn’t know your property. You’re getting consistency.
We’re also a family business—Josh’s son joined as a partner in 2022. That means we’re thinking long-term. We’re not flipping clients or chasing volume. We want to be your lawn maintenance service for the next ten years, not just this season.
You’re in Charlton, NY, where properties are an investment and people care about how things look. We get that. We’re local, we know the area, and we’re set up to handle everything from basic grass cutting service to full seasonal care. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, give us a call.
