Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been operating in the Hudson Falls area since 1997. Josh runs the business alongside his son, and one of us is on nearly every job. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how we operate.
We’re not a franchise. We’re not running 40 crews across three counties. We’re local, and we’re here when you call or text. Most of our clients come back year after year because we do what we say we’ll do.
Hudson Falls homeowners deal with clay-heavy soil, drainage issues, and lawns that can go from green to patchy fast if they’re not maintained right. We’ve worked on enough properties here to know what your yard needs and when it needs it.

We come out to take a look. No pressure, no upselling. Just a straightforward conversation about what your yard needs and what it’ll cost.
Once we’re on your schedule, we show up on the day we say we will.

If we see something that needs attention—like a drainage problem or dead spots—we’ll let you know.
You’re not stuck in a contract you can’t get out of. You’re working with people who want to be your lawn maintenance service for the long haul, and that only happens if we’re doing good work.

Our lawn maintenance service covers the basics that keep your property looking clean: mowing at the right height for your grass type, trimming around edges and obstacles, weed trimming service along fences and beds, and blowing off driveways and walkways.
We also handle shrub trimming services to keep your landscaping shaped and healthy. Overgrown shrubs don’t just look messy—they can block windows, crowd walkways, and create pest problems.
In Hudson Falls, NY, lawns take a beating from heavy spring rains and summer heat. Our professional lawn maintenance approach adjusts to what your yard actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all schedule. That means we’re not mowing too short during dry spells or skipping weeks when growth is heavy.
If you need seasonal work—spring cleanups, fall leaf removal, or mulching—we handle that too. Most of our clients bundle services because it’s easier than coordinating with multiple companies, and they know we’ll show up.
Most Hudson Falls properties need mowing every 7 to 10 days during the growing season, which runs from late April through October. That changes depending on rainfall and temperature—wet springs mean faster growth, dry summers slow it down.
If you’re letting grass grow too long between cuts, you’re stressing the lawn and leaving clumps of clippings that smother healthy grass. If you’re cutting too often, you’re wasting money and potentially scalping the turf.
We adjust schedules based on actual conditions, not a rigid calendar. Some clients go every week from May through July, then shift to every 10 days in August when growth slows. Others need every-other-week service and seasonal cleanups. It depends on your property and what you’re trying to maintain.
Cheap lawn care usually means someone with a mower and a truck who’s trying to hit as many properties as possible in a day. That leads to fast, sloppy work—scalped grass, missed spots, clippings left on your driveway, and shrubs hacked instead of trimmed.
Professional lawn maintenance in Hudson Falls, NY means using sharp blades, mowing at the correct height, trimming carefully around beds and structures, and cleaning up when the job’s done. It also means showing up when scheduled and communicating if something changes.
You’ll also notice the difference in how your lawn looks over time. Proper mowing height and consistent care keep grass thick and healthy, which means fewer weeds, better drought resistance, and a yard that actually adds value to your property. Cheap cuts might save you $10 a week, but you’ll spend more fixing problems later—or you’ll just have a yard that looks rough all season.
Lawn maintenance in Hudson Falls, NY is seasonal. Mowing and trimming run from spring through fall, typically April through late October depending on weather. Once grass goes dormant and we’ve done final fall cleanups, there’s no mowing until spring.
That said, we do offer year-round property services. Fall cleanup includes leaf removal, final mowing, and bed prep for winter. Spring cleanup gets your yard ready for the growing season—clearing debris, cutting back dead growth, and addressing any drainage or grading issues that showed up over winter.
We’re also expanding into commercial and residential snow removal, so if you’re looking for a year-round relationship with one company that knows your property, that’s something we’re building toward. Most of our lawn maintenance clients already call us for excavation, driveway work, or site prep because they’d rather work with people they trust than start over with someone new.
Most residential properties in Hudson Falls, NY run between $40 and $80 per visit for basic mowing, trimming, edging, and cleanup. Larger lots, properties with more landscaping, or yards that need extra attention cost more. Smaller, straightforward lawns cost less.
If you’re adding shrub trimming services, seasonal cleanups, or other work, that’s priced separately based on time and scope. We’re not the cheapest option in town, and we’re upfront about that. You’re paying for reliable service, quality work, and a crew that’s not going to damage your property or disappear halfway through the season.
The homeowners who fire their lawn care company usually do it because of inconsistent quality, poor communication, or sloppy cleanup—not price. Spending a little more for someone who shows up on time and does the job right saves you the headache of dealing with contractors who don’t care. We’d rather have fewer clients who value good work than a packed schedule full of people just looking for the lowest bid.
First, make sure they’re actually insured. If someone gets hurt on your property or damages something, you don’t want to be on the hook. Ask for proof—it takes 30 seconds and it matters.
Second, look at their equipment. If they’re showing up with dull blades, beat-up mowers, or gear that’s barely running, that’s a red flag. Professional lawn maintenance requires tools that are maintained and sharp. Dull blades tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which stresses your lawn and makes it more vulnerable to disease.
Third, pay attention to how they communicate. Do they return calls? Show up when they say they will? Let you know if something changes? A lot of frustration with lawn care companies comes down to unreliable communication and no-shows. If someone’s hard to reach before you hire them, it’s not going to get better once they have your business.
Finally, ask what’s included. Some companies mow and leave. Others handle edging, trimming, blowing off hardscapes, and hauling clippings. Know what you’re paying for so there’s no confusion when the job’s done.
Yes. Actually, this is where working with an excavation company makes a difference. Most lawn care crews will mow around problem areas or just tell you it’s not their job. We can fix the underlying issue.
If your yard has standing water, soggy spots that won’t drain, or areas where grass won’t grow because the grading is off, that’s not a lawn maintenance problem—it’s a site problem. We handle excavation, grading, and drainage work regularly for new construction and existing properties in Hudson Falls, NY.
We’ll let you know if something needs attention beyond mowing and trimming. A lot of times, homeowners are dealing with poor drainage from how the lot was originally graded, or runoff from a neighbor’s property that’s pooling in the wrong spot. Fixing that might mean regrading a section, installing a drainage swale, or adding a dry well. Once the site is right, the lawn maintenance is easy. If you try to maintain a yard that’s fighting against bad grading, you’re just throwing money at a problem that won’t go away.
