You’re not looking for the cheapest grass cutting service in Round Lake, NY. You’re looking for someone who shows up when they say they will, does clean work, and doesn’t leave you wondering if they’re coming back next week.
That’s what changes when you work with a crew that’s been doing this locally since 1997. Your lawn gets maintained on a schedule that actually works. Grass stays trimmed before it gets out of hand. Shrubs look intentional, not overgrown. Weeds get handled before they take over your beds.
You stop spending your evenings trying to catch up on yard work after a long week. You stop coordinating with multiple contractors for different tasks. And you stop worrying about whether your property looks like you care about it, because it does.
The result is a lawn that looks maintained without you having to maintain it. That’s the point.
We started Emerson Excavating and Trucking in 1997, and we’ve been serving Round Lake, NY homeowners ever since. Josh runs the company with his son, who joined as a partner in 2022. This isn’t a franchise or a crew you’ll never meet.
Josh is on almost every job. That means you’re working with someone who knows Round Lake’s soil, understands what spring cleanup looks like here after a rough winter, and isn’t going to disappear halfway through the season.
We’re not the biggest operation in Saratoga County, and that’s intentional. You get the same crew, the same level of care, and someone who answers the phone when you call. That matters more than a flashy truck.
It starts with a walkthrough. You show us your property, tell us what’s driving you crazy, and we talk through what makes sense for your lawn. No pressure, no upselling services you don’t need.
Once we’re on the same page, we set a maintenance schedule that works for your property and your budget. That usually means regular grass cutting service in Round Lake, NY, plus shrub trimming services and weed trimming service as needed throughout the season. We’re not locked into rigid packages—we adjust based on what your yard actually needs.
When we show up, we do the work and clean up after ourselves. Clippings get handled. Edges look sharp. If we see something that needs attention—like a drainage issue starting or storm damage—we’ll let you know before it becomes a bigger problem.
You’re not managing the schedule or wondering when we’re coming. We keep it consistent, and if weather pushes us back a day, we’ll let you know. That’s it.

Our professional lawn maintenance in Round Lake, NY covers the basics that keep your property looking clean: regular grass cutting, trimming around beds and hardscapes, shrub trimming to keep things shaped and healthy, and weed control in beds and along edges.
Round Lake properties tend to have mature landscaping and established lawns, which means maintenance here isn’t just about mowing. It’s about keeping up with growth patterns that change throughout the season, managing shade areas near the lake that stay damp, and dealing with soil that compacts easily after wet springs.
We also handle seasonal cleanups—spring debris removal after winter, fall leaf management, and storm cleanup when branches come down. If you need more than maintenance, like grading work or drainage fixes, we’ve got the equipment and experience to handle that too. We’re not just a mowing crew.
Because we’re local and we’ve been doing this for decades, we know what works here. We’re not following a generic lawn care playbook. We’re adjusting to what Round Lake, NY properties actually need.
Most Round Lake properties need grass cutting service every 7 to 10 days during peak growing season, which runs from late April through September. That keeps your lawn looking maintained without scalping it or letting it get out of control.
In early spring and late fall, you can usually stretch that to every two weeks since growth slows down. But if we get a wet May or June, you might need more frequent cuts to keep up with the growth. We adjust the schedule based on what’s actually happening with your lawn, not a rigid calendar.
Shrub trimming services typically happen two to three times per season—once in early spring before new growth starts, once mid-summer to clean up shape, and sometimes once in late fall depending on the species. Weed trimming service happens during every visit, so you’re not dealing with overgrown edges or beds between cuts.
Cheap lawn care usually means someone shows up inconsistently, scalps your grass to stretch time between cuts, and disappears when you need them most. You’ll save money upfront, but you’ll spend more time managing the relationship and fixing problems they cause.
Professional lawn maintenance in Round Lake, NY means consistent scheduling, equipment that’s maintained properly so it cuts cleanly instead of tearing grass, and a crew that knows the difference between trimming a shrub and butchering it. It also means someone answers when you call and shows up when they say they will.
The real difference shows up over time. Cheap cuts lead to stressed, thin grass that needs more water and develops more weeds. Professional maintenance keeps your lawn healthier, which means fewer problems and lower costs down the road. You’re not just paying for the cut—you’re paying for someone who knows what they’re doing and cares about the result.
Yes. We’re expanding our commercial lawn maintenance services in Round Lake, NY and across Saratoga County. We already handle excavation and site work for commercial clients, and we’re adding regular maintenance to that lineup.
Commercial properties need a different approach than residential. You’re dealing with larger areas, higher visibility, and less tolerance for missed appointments or sloppy work. We get that. Our equipment can handle bigger jobs efficiently, and we’re set up to work around your business hours if needed.
If you’ve got a commercial property in Round Lake that needs consistent grass cutting service, shrub trimming, or seasonal cleanup, we can put together a maintenance plan that makes sense for your property and your budget. We’re also adding commercial snow removal this winter, so if you’re looking for a single contractor to handle year-round property maintenance, that’s something we can talk through.
Honestly, not much. We’re coming in to handle the maintenance, so you don’t need to pre-mow or clean up before we arrive. If there are specific areas you want us to avoid—like a section you’re reseeding or a new planting bed—just point those out during the walkthrough.
It helps if sprinkler heads are marked or visible, especially early in the season when grass is still short. We’re careful, but it’s easier to avoid something we can see. Same goes for any low lighting, decorative edging, or anything else that might not be obvious from the mower seat.
If you’ve got a dog, just let us know where the invisible fence line runs if you have one. And if there’s a gate we need to access or a specific way you want us to enter the property, mention that upfront. The goal is to make this as low-maintenance for you as possible, so the less you have to think about it, the better.
Winter in Round Lake, NY can be rough on lawns. Salt damage near driveways, compacted soil from snow piles, dead patches from ice buildup—it’s common. When we start spring service, we’ll assess what needs attention and talk through options.
Minor damage usually recovers on its own once we start regular maintenance and the grass begins growing again. More significant issues—like large dead patches or areas where the soil is severely compacted—might need overseeding or aeration. We’ll tell you what we’re seeing and what makes sense to fix versus what you can leave alone.
For storm damage, we can handle cleanup as part of our service. Branches down, debris in the lawn, that kind of thing. If a storm causes bigger issues like drainage problems or erosion, we’ve got the excavation equipment to address that too. The advantage of working with a company that does more than just lawn maintenance is that we can actually fix underlying problems, not just mow around them.
Pricing depends on property size, what services you need, and how often you need them. A typical residential property in Round Lake with regular grass cutting service, trimming, and basic shrub maintenance usually runs between $50 and $100 per visit, but that varies based on lot size and complexity.
We don’t do one-size-fits-all pricing because properties here aren’t one-size-fits-all. A flat half-acre lot is different than a property with mature landscaping, steep grades, or lots of obstacles to work around. We’d rather give you an accurate estimate after seeing your property than quote you a number that doesn’t reflect the actual work involved.
We bill per visit for most residential clients, though we can set up seasonal contracts if you prefer predictable monthly billing. No hidden fees, no surprise charges for basic trimming or cleanup. If something comes up that’s outside the normal scope—like a big storm cleanup or extra work you request—we’ll let you know the cost before we do it. Transparency matters, especially when you’re trusting someone to show up at your property regularly.
