You’ve got enough on your plate without worrying about whether your grass is getting cut right or if someone’s actually going to show up. Professional lawn mowing service in Athol, NY means your property stays maintained without you having to chase down contractors or settle for half-finished work.
The reality is simple: overgrown grass makes your property look neglected, creates drainage issues, and attracts pests. Regular grass mowing in Athol, NY keeps your land functional and presentable, whether you’re managing a residential lot or preparing a site for construction.
When you work with local lawn mowing contractors who understand Adirondack soil conditions and seasonal growth patterns, you’re not just getting someone to run a mower across your yard. You’re getting land mowing done by people who know how terrain, moisture, and timing affect results. Your property gets the attention it needs, when it needs it, without the back-and-forth or the excuses.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking started as a logging operation in 1997 and transitioned to full-time excavation and property services in 2020. Josh runs the business alongside his son, and you’ll see him on almost every job. That’s not a marketing line—it’s how we operate.
We serve Athol, NY and the surrounding areas in Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties. The soil here is different. The seasons hit harder. The terrain doesn’t cooperate like it does in flatter regions. We’ve spent years working in these conditions, so we know what works and what doesn’t.
You’re not hiring a crew that’s going to disappear halfway through or leave your property worse than they found it. You’re working with people who live here, understand the area, and plan to keep doing business here long after your job is done.
First, we come out to look at your property. We’re checking the terrain, the size, what kind of vegetation we’re dealing with, and whether there are any access issues or obstacles that’ll affect the work. You’ll get a clear estimate based on what we actually see, not a guess over the phone.
Once we’re scheduled, we show up with the right equipment for your specific job. That might be mowers for standard grass cutting or heavier land mowing equipment if you’ve got overgrown fields, brush, or uneven terrain. We handle the mowing, manage the clippings, and make sure the site is left clean.
If you need ongoing maintenance, we can set up a regular schedule that keeps your property in shape throughout the season. If it’s a one-time clearing or prep job, we finish it, walk the site with you, and make sure it’s done right. No surprises. No mess left behind. Just the work you hired us to do, completed the way it should be.

Our lawn mowing service in Athol, NY covers residential properties, commercial sites, and land clearing for construction prep. We’re equipped to handle standard yard maintenance as well as larger-scale land mowing projects that require more than a push mower and good intentions.
Athol sits in the southern Adirondacks, where properties often include wooded edges, uneven grades, and soil that doesn’t drain the same way it does in suburban developments. That means lawn care here isn’t just about keeping grass short—it’s about managing growth in a way that prevents erosion, controls moisture, and keeps your property accessible. We factor in those conditions when we’re planning the job.
If you’re preparing a site for new construction, we can clear vegetation, remove stumps, and grade the land so it’s ready for the next phase. If you’re maintaining an existing property, we keep your grass cut, your edges clean, and your land looking functional. We also coordinate with local authorities when permits are needed, so you’re not stuck figuring out compliance on your own.
Pricing depends on the size of your property, the type of terrain, and how overgrown the grass or vegetation is when we start. A standard residential lot with maintained grass is going to cost less than a multi-acre site that hasn’t been touched in months.
In New York, most homeowners pay between $40 and $50 for basic grass cutting, but that’s for straightforward suburban yards. If you’re dealing with slopes, rocks, brush, or land that requires heavier equipment, the cost goes up because the work is more involved.
We give you a clear estimate after we’ve seen the property. No hidden fees. No surprises when the bill comes. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start, and that number is based on the actual conditions of your land, not a generic quote pulled from a website.
Lawn mowing is what most people think of when they picture yard maintenance—cutting grass on a residential or commercial property to keep it neat and manageable. It’s regular upkeep, usually done with standard mowers, and it’s meant to maintain a property that’s already in decent shape.
Land mowing is heavier work. It’s for overgrown fields, brush-covered lots, or properties that need clearing before construction or development. The equipment is different—think brush hogs and heavy-duty mowers that can handle thick vegetation, uneven ground, and obstacles like rocks or stumps.
In Athol, NY, a lot of properties need land mowing before they can even get to the lawn mowing stage. If your lot has been sitting untouched or you’re prepping land for a new build, you’re starting with land clearing. Once that’s done and the property is maintained, regular lawn mowing keeps it under control.
It depends on the season and how fast your grass is growing. In late spring and early summer, grass grows quickly in the Adirondack region because of the moisture and temperature swings. You’re probably looking at mowing every week or every ten days to keep it under control.
By mid-summer, growth slows down a bit, especially if it’s dry. You might stretch it to every two weeks. In the fall, growth tapers off even more, but you’ll still want to mow periodically to keep the property tidy and prevent matting when the grass goes dormant.
If you’re managing a larger property or dealing with fields rather than a standard yard, the schedule might be different. Some people mow once or twice a season just to keep vegetation from taking over. We can set up a maintenance plan based on your property and what you’re trying to accomplish, whether that’s weekly upkeep or seasonal clearing.
We handle cleanup. When we finish a job, the site is left clean—no piles of clippings, no debris scattered across your driveway, no mess for you to deal with after we leave.
For standard lawn mowing, clippings are usually mulched back into the grass if the conditions allow it. That’s actually better for your lawn because it returns nutrients to the soil. If the grass is too long or wet, or if you’d rather have the clippings removed entirely, we’ll bag them and haul them off.
For land mowing projects, there’s often more than just grass to manage—brush, branches, and other vegetation that needs to be cleared from the site. We remove that material as part of the job. You’re not left with a pile of debris to figure out on your own. The property is clean and ready to use when we’re done.
Yes. A lot of properties in Athol, NY have slopes, rocky soil, or uneven grades—that’s just the nature of the Adirondack region. We’re equipped to handle those conditions because we’ve been working in this terrain for years.
Slopes require different equipment and techniques to avoid scalping the grass or creating erosion issues. Rocks and ledge are common here, and they affect how we approach the job. We’re not going to tear up your property or damage equipment trying to force a mower through conditions that require a different approach.
If your property has significant obstacles—large boulders, steep drop-offs, or areas that aren’t safe to mow—we’ll walk the site with you and explain what’s realistic. Sometimes that means adjusting the scope of the work or using alternative methods to manage vegetation. We’re upfront about what we can and can’t do, and we make sure the work is done safely and effectively.
We do both. If you need a one-time cut—maybe you’re selling a property, prepping for an event, or just got behind on maintenance—we can handle that. You call, we schedule it, we get it done.
If you’d rather set up ongoing service so your property stays maintained throughout the season, we can put together a schedule that works for you. That might be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on your needs and how fast your grass grows.
There’s no pressure to commit to a long-term contract if that’s not what you need. Some customers want regular maintenance. Others just need help getting a property back under control. We’re set up to handle both, and the pricing is straightforward either way.
