A Family Business That Shows Up

We’ve been operating in Saratoga County since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-service excavation and property maintenance—because the work changed, but our commitment to quality didn’t.

Josh runs the business alongside his son, and he’s on-site for almost every job. That’s not a marketing line—it’s how we operate. When you hire us, you’re working with people who’ve spent decades learning how Clarkville properties drain, what grows well here, and what actually holds up through Upstate New York winters.

You’re not getting a rotating crew of strangers. You’re getting a local team that knows your property type, understands your soil conditions, and plans to be your lawn care provider long-term—not just for one season.

How Lawn Maintenance Actually Happens

It starts with a quick walkthrough of your property. You show us what you want maintained, what’s been a problem, and what your schedule looks like. We’ll give you a clear estimate based on the size of your lawn, the trimming work involved, and how often you want service.

Once you’re set up, we handle scheduling. Most properties in Clarkville, NY get weekly or bi-weekly visits during the growing season, depending on how fast your grass grows and how you want the property to look. We mow, edge, trim shrubs as needed, and handle weed trimming around walkways, fences, and beds.

If something needs attention—drainage issues, overgrowth, grading problems—we’ll let you know. Because we also do excavation and site work, we can handle bigger property improvements if they come up. But the regular maintenance stays simple: we show up, do the work, and your lawn looks the way it should.

You don’t need to be home. You don’t need to move anything or prep the yard. We bring commercial-grade equipment, we know what we’re doing, and we clean up when we’re done.

What's Included in Lawn Maintenance

Lawn maintenance in Clarkville, NY covers the recurring work that keeps your property looking clean and healthy. That means mowing at the right height for your grass type, not just running over it as fast as possible. It means trimming edges so your lawn has defined borders. And it means cutting back shrubs before they block windows or walkways.

Weed trimming service handles the growth around obstacles—fence lines, garden beds, trees, mailboxes. These are the spots that make a property look neglected if they’re skipped, and they take longer than most homeowners expect.

In Saratoga County, properties deal with heavy spring growth, summer heat stress, and fall debris. A good maintenance plan adjusts for that. You’re not getting the same service every visit—you’re getting what the property actually needs that week.

If you’ve got larger landscaping goals—new plantings, drainage fixes, grading work—we can handle that too. But the maintenance side stays consistent and predictable, so you’re never wondering when the lawn’s getting done or if it’ll look right.

How often should I schedule lawn maintenance in Clarkville, NY?

Most properties in Clarkville need weekly mowing during peak growing season—roughly May through early July. That’s when grass grows fastest and waiting two weeks leaves you with overgrowth that’s harder to cut and doesn’t look as clean.

From mid-July through September, you can usually stretch to every 10 days or bi-weekly, depending on rainfall and heat. Growth slows down, and your lawn won’t get out of control as quickly.

In fall, maintenance shifts toward leaf cleanup and final cuts before winter. Some properties keep bi-weekly service through October, others scale back. It depends on how much you care about appearance and whether you’ve got trees dropping debris. The short answer: weekly during heavy growth, bi-weekly during slower periods, and seasonal adjustments as needed.

Lawn maintenance is recurring work—mowing, trimming, edging, basic upkeep. It’s what keeps your property looking clean week to week without major changes. You’re maintaining what’s already there.

Landscaping services involve installation or renovation—planting new beds, adding hardscapes, regrading areas, installing drainage, or redesigning sections of your property. It’s project-based work that changes the layout or function of your yard.

We handle both, which is useful if you want regular maintenance but also need bigger improvements. A lot of companies only do one or the other, so you end up coordinating multiple contractors. Here, the same team that mows your lawn can also install a new drainage system or regrade a problem area—because we’ve got the excavation equipment and experience to do it right.

No. Most clients aren’t home when we show up, and that’s completely fine. Once we’ve done the initial walkthrough and know what you want, we can handle everything without you being there.

We bring our own equipment, we know the property layout, and we don’t need access to your house. If something unusual comes up—a broken sprinkler head, a new problem area, something that needs your input—we’ll text or call and let you know.

You’ll see the work done when you get home. If there’s ever an issue or something you want adjusted, just let us know and we’ll handle it on the next visit. The goal is to make this as low-effort as possible on your end. You shouldn’t have to think about lawn care unless you want to.

We’ll reschedule for the next available day, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Mowing wet grass doesn’t give clean results—it clumps, it clogs equipment, and it doesn’t look right when it’s done. So we wait until conditions are better.

If rain is forecasted but the grass is dry enough to cut, we’ll get it done before the weather hits. If it’s actively raining or the ground is soaked, we push the visit back and adjust the rest of the week’s schedule accordingly.

You don’t need to call us or manage the rescheduling. We track weather for all our properties and make adjustments automatically. You’ll still get your service that week—it just might be a day or two later than originally planned. Most clients prefer that over having their lawn torn up by equipment in wet conditions.

Yes, and that’s actually where our background in excavation makes a difference. A lot of lawn care companies will mow around problem areas or tell you they can’t help with drainage. We can fix the underlying issue and then maintain the property properly.

If your yard has low spots that pool water, grading problems that cause erosion, or drainage that’s affecting your lawn health, we’ll identify it during the walkthrough. We can regrade sections, install drainage systems, or adjust slopes so water moves away from your house and off your lawn.

Once that’s handled, regular maintenance becomes easier and more effective. You’re not constantly dealing with soggy areas that can’t be mowed, or sections that stay too wet and grow weeds instead of grass. Fixing the property issues first means better results from the maintenance work long-term.

It depends on property size, how much trimming is involved, and how often you want service. A typical residential property with weekly mowing and trimming usually runs between $40 and $70 per visit, but that’s a rough range—not a quote.

Larger properties, heavy shrub trimming, or properties with obstacles that slow down the work will cost more. Smaller, straightforward lots with minimal trimming cost less. Bi-weekly service costs less per month than weekly, but your lawn won’t look as consistently maintained.

We give clear estimates after seeing your property. No surprises, no hidden fees, no upselling services you don’t need. You’ll know what it costs before we start, and that price stays consistent unless you ask us to add something. If you want an accurate number, the fastest way is to reach out and set up a quick walkthrough.
