You’re not looking for the cheapest grass cutting service in Diamond Point, NY. You’re looking for someone who shows up when they say they will, does the work right, and doesn’t leave you wondering when they’ll be back.
Your lawn needs consistent care that matches the season. Spring means dealing with thatch buildup and getting growth under control. Summer requires proper mowing height to handle heat stress. Fall is about preparing for winter dormancy and managing leaves before they smother your grass.
Most property owners around Lake George don’t have time to track all that. You need someone who knows what Diamond Point lawns require and handles it without constant supervision. That’s what professional lawn maintenance actually looks like—not just mowing, but understanding what your property needs each month and taking care of it.
We started Emerson Excavating and Trucking in 1997 handling logging work throughout Warren and Washington Counties. We transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020, and Josh’s son joined as a partner in 2022.
We’re adding lawn maintenance services because property owners in Diamond Point keep asking for reliable help. You already trust us with site prep, driveways, and septic work. Now you can count on the same team for grass cutting service, shrub trimming services, and seasonal property care.
Josh is on almost every job. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how we operate. When you work with a family business, you get people who care about doing it right because their name is attached to the result.
You reach out by phone or text—whatever works for you. We’ll schedule a time to walk your property and talk through what you need. No pressure, no upselling services you don’t want.
We’ll give you a clear price based on your property size, terrain, and how often you want service. Most Diamond Point properties need weekly mowing during peak season and bi-weekly once growth slows. We’ll also discuss weed trimming service, shrub trimming services, and any seasonal work like spring cleanup or fall leaf removal.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we get you on the schedule. You’ll know when we’re coming, and we’ll show up. After each visit, your property looks the way it should—edges clean, grass at the right height, clippings managed properly.
If something needs attention between visits, you can reach us directly. No phone trees, no automated systems. Just text or call Josh.

Regular mowing keeps your grass healthy and your property looking maintained. We cut at the right height for the season—higher in summer to protect roots from heat stress, adjusted in spring and fall based on growth patterns.
Trimming and edging handle the areas your mower can’t reach. That means clean lines along walkways, driveways, and garden beds. Shrub trimming services keep your landscaping shaped and prevent overgrowth that blocks windows or pathways.
Weed trimming service addresses problem areas before they spread. Diamond Point properties deal with different weed pressure depending on sun exposure and soil conditions. We handle it as part of regular maintenance so you’re not fighting it yourself later.
Seasonal services adapt to what your property needs. Spring cleanup removes winter debris and prepares your lawn for growth. Fall work includes leaf removal and final mowing before dormancy. We’re also expanding into snow removal for commercial and industrial properties this winter.
Most residential properties in Diamond Point run between $150 and $270 per visit depending on lot size and terrain. Lakefront properties with slopes or difficult access cost more because of the time and equipment required.
Weekly service during peak growing season gives you the best results. That’s typically May through August when grass grows fastest. You can switch to bi-weekly service in spring and fall when growth slows.
We’ll give you an exact price after seeing your property. Factors include total lawn area, obstacles like trees or landscaping beds, and whether you want additional services like shrub trimming or seasonal cleanup. No surprises, no hidden fees—you know the cost before we start.
Weekly mowing works best from late May through August when warm temperatures and summer rain keep grass growing fast. If you let it go two weeks during peak season, you’re cutting off too much at once and stressing the lawn.
Spring and fall allow more flexibility. Growth slows when temperatures drop, so bi-weekly service usually keeps things under control. Some property owners switch to monthly visits in late fall just to manage leaves and do final cleanup before winter.
The key is consistency. Sporadic mowing creates uneven growth and makes your lawn more vulnerable to weeds and disease. Regular cuts at the right height keep grass thick and healthy, which naturally crowds out most weed problems before they start.
Yes. Spring cleanup removes dead grass, fallen branches, and winter debris that accumulated while your lawn was dormant. We also address any drainage issues that showed up during snowmelt—important around here where spring runoff can create problems.
Fall cleanup focuses on leaf removal before they mat down and smother your grass over winter. Diamond Point properties with mature trees need multiple passes as leaves drop. We time it so you’re not left with a final heavy drop after we’re done.
Both services prepare your lawn for the next season. Spring work gets everything ready for healthy growth. Fall work protects your grass during dormancy and makes spring startup easier. Most property owners bundle seasonal cleanup with regular maintenance for better overall results.
That’s most of what we deal with. Diamond Point properties often include slopes, rocky areas, and terrain that makes lawn care more complicated than flat suburban lots.
We own our equipment rather than renting it, which means we have what’s needed for challenging sites. Steep grades require different mowing techniques to avoid scalping or safety issues. Rocky soil means adjusting blade height and watching for obstacles that could damage equipment or create projectiles.
Lakefront properties sometimes have limited access or areas where you can’t get a standard mower. We work around it. The goal is maintaining your entire property, not just the easy parts. If you’ve been told your lot is too difficult or not worth the hassle, we’d like to take a look.
Fair question. Too many property owners get burned by contractors who start strong and then become impossible to reach.
Josh is present on almost every job. That’s not an exaggeration—it’s how we run the business. When the owner is physically there doing the work, scheduling problems drop dramatically. You’re not dealing with a crew that got reassigned or a dispatcher who doesn’t know your property.
We’ll also communicate directly with you. If weather pushes your service back a day, you’ll get a text. If we’re running behind schedule, we’ll let you know. You can reach us by phone or text anytime, and you’ll get a real response from someone who knows your property and your service history.
We’re focusing on mechanical maintenance right now—mowing, trimming, edging, and seasonal cleanup. That covers what most Diamond Point property owners need for consistent results.
Professional fertilization typically costs $250 to $350 per application, and New York State restricts fertilizer use from December through March. If you want fertilization, we can recommend local providers who specialize in chemical applications and have the licensing for it.
What we do handle is keeping your lawn healthy through proper mowing practices. Cutting at the right height, leaving grass slightly longer during heat stress, and maintaining consistent schedules all reduce weed pressure naturally. A thick, healthy lawn is your best defense against weeds—better than any chemical treatment alone.
