You’re not looking for the cheapest grass cutting service in Kingsbury, NY. You want someone who shows up when they say they will, does the work right, and doesn’t need to be managed.
That’s what professional lawn maintenance looks like here. Your grass stays healthy through Kingsbury’s unpredictable springs and cold winters. Your shrubs get trimmed at the right time, not whenever you finally have a free Saturday. Weeds don’t take over because someone’s actually paying attention.
The result? A property that looks maintained without you spending every weekend maintaining it. No equipment sitting in your garage. No wondering if you’re doing it wrong. Just consistent care from people who’ve been doing this for decades and know what works in Kingsbury’s climate.
We started in 1997, and we’ve been working on Kingsbury properties ever since. Josh oversees nearly every job personally, which means you’re not getting a different crew every week who doesn’t know your property.
We’re a family business—Josh’s son joined as a partner in 2022. We’re not trying to be the biggest lawn maintenance service near you. We’re trying to be the one you call back year after year because the work gets done right and we actually respond when you reach out.
Kingsbury’s weather throws curveballs. Late frosts, heavy snow damage, soil that needs lime more often than people think. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to handle it without you needing to explain what’s wrong.
First, we walk your property with you. We look at what you’ve got—grass type, problem areas, what’s growing where it shouldn’t be. You tell us what you want handled, and we tell you what makes sense for your property and budget.
Then we set a schedule that works. Weekly grass cutting during peak season, shrub trimming services when they actually need it (not just because it’s on a calendar), weed trimming service before things get out of hand. If you want seasonal cleanup in spring and fall, we build that in too.
Once we start, you’re not managing us. We show up on schedule, do the work, and let you know if we spot something that needs attention. You get photos if you’re not home. You get a heads-up if weather pushes us back a day.
At the end of the season, we talk about what worked and what didn’t. If your lawn needs different care next year—more frequent mowing, different timing on treatments, whatever—we adjust. The goal is a lawn that looks better each year, not just maintained.

Grass cutting is the foundation—we’re talking about consistent mowing at the right height for your grass type, not scalping it every other week. Edging along walkways and driveways. Trimming around obstacles, trees, and fence lines.
Shrub trimming happens when it should, which in Kingsbury usually means late winter for most species and again in mid-summer if needed. We’re not just making things look neat—we’re cutting at the right spots to promote healthy growth and prevent disease.
Weed control is ongoing. Hand-pulling in beds, treating problem areas in the lawn, keeping edges clean so weeds don’t creep from sidewalks into your grass. Kingsbury’s soil tends to be acidic, which means moss and certain weeds love it here. We know what to watch for.
Seasonal work matters more here than in warmer climates. Spring cleanup after snow damage, leaf removal in fall before the first snow buries everything, winterizing your beds so plants come back healthy. These aren’t extras—they’re what keeps a Kingsbury lawn looking good year-round instead of just June through August.
During peak growing season—usually mid-May through early July—most Kingsbury lawns need mowing weekly. Your grass is growing fast, and if you let it go two weeks, you’re cutting off too much at once, which stresses the lawn and leaves clumps of clippings that smother the grass underneath.
Late summer, you can often stretch to every 10 days as growth slows. By September, every two weeks might be fine depending on rainfall. The key is never removing more than a third of the grass height in one cut.
If you’re on a well-fertilized lawn or you’ve had a particularly wet spring, you might need twice-weekly cuts for a few weeks. We adjust based on actual growth, not just what the schedule says. You’re not paying for unnecessary cuts, but you’re also not letting your lawn get away from you because we’re trying to save you money.
Early spring—late March or early April in Kingsbury—is when most people start. That’s when you want spring cleanup done: removing winter debris, cutting back dead growth, getting beds ready before things start growing. Your first mow usually happens in mid to late April depending on the weather.
That said, you can start anytime. If you’re calling in June because you’re overwhelmed, we’ll get your lawn back under control and then keep it there. It just takes an extra cut or two to catch up if things have gotten ahead of you.
Fall is actually a smart time to start if you’re planning ahead. We handle leaf removal and winterizing, your lawn goes into winter healthy, and then you’re already set up for spring service. A lot of people don’t think about their lawn in October, but that’s when you’re preventing problems for next year—especially in Kingsbury where winter is hard on everything.
We handle basic weed control as part of regular maintenance—hand-pulling weeds in beds, spot-treating problem areas, keeping edges clean. For whole-lawn chemical applications, we work with licensed applicators and can coordinate that for you if you want it included.
Kingsbury soil is typically acidic, which means your lawn probably needs lime every few years to keep pH balanced. We can test your soil and let you know what it needs. Most lawns here also benefit from a spring fertilizer application and a fall winterizing treatment, which we can arrange.
What we don’t do is push treatments you don’t need. If your lawn is healthy and you’re fine with pulling the occasional dandelion, you don’t need a six-step program. If you want a golf-course lawn, we’ll set that up. It’s about what you want and what your property actually needs, not what we can sell you.
For a typical quarter-acre lot, you’re looking at $100 to $150 per month for weekly mowing during the season. Larger properties or ones with more landscaping beds, obstacles, or difficult terrain cost more. Smaller, simple lots cost less.
That monthly rate usually covers mowing, trimming, edging, and blowing off hard surfaces. Shrub trimming, seasonal cleanups, and treatments are typically billed separately—spring cleanup might be $200 to $400 depending on property size, shrub trimming $150 to $300 per session.
We offer discounts for annual contracts and more frequent service. If you want year-round care including snow removal, we can bundle that. The goal is predictable pricing so you’re not surprised by bills, and you’re not paying for more service than your property needs. We’ll give you an exact quote after seeing your property—every lawn is different.
We reschedule and let you know when we’re coming. Kingsbury weather is unpredictable—spring rain, surprise late frosts, early snow. We’re not mowing in a downpour or when the ground is too wet, because that tears up your lawn and makes a mess.
If we get pushed back, you’re usually looking at a one or two-day delay, not a whole week. We run multiple crews and build flexibility into the schedule specifically for weather. You’ll get a text or call letting you know the new plan.
The only time delays get longer is during extended wet periods, which happens some springs. When that occurs, everyone’s lawn is growing like crazy and every service is backed up. We prioritize based on need—if your lawn is out of control, you move up. If it can wait another day, we let you know. Communication is the key. You’re never wondering when we’re showing up or if we forgot about you.
Yes. We maintain residential properties throughout Kingsbury—single-family homes, rental properties, vacation homes that need regular care even when owners aren’t around. We’re also expanding into commercial work, which means office parks, industrial sites, multi-family complexes.
The approach is the same regardless of property type: consistent service, clear communication, work done right the first time. Commercial properties often need more frequent service and stricter scheduling, which we can handle. Residential clients usually want more flexibility and personal attention, which is how we’ve always operated.
If you’ve got multiple properties or you’re a property manager handling several locations, we can set up a single contract that covers everything. Josh personally oversees the work regardless of property size, so you’re getting the same quality whether it’s your home or your business. We’re not handing commercial work off to a separate division that doesn’t know what they’re doing.
