Your lawn looks clean and maintained without eating up your weekends. You’re not chasing down contractors or wondering if we’ll show up. The grass is cut evenly, the edges are clean, and you didn’t have to follow up three times to make it happen.
That’s what matters when you’re paying someone to handle your property. You want it done, done well, and done without drama.
We’ve been doing this since 1997. Started in logging, moved into excavation, and now handle everything from site prep to lawn mowing services in Edwards Hill, NY. Josh is on almost every job. Not because we don’t trust our crew—but because that’s how we make sure you’re getting what you paid for. If something’s off, we fix it before we leave.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been operating in Edwards Hill, NY and across Saratoga, Warren, and Washington counties for over 27 years. We’re a family business—Josh runs it, his son joined as a partner in 2022, and we’re not going anywhere.
We handle lawn mowing, land mowing, excavation, site prep, driveways, septic work—basically, if it involves your property and dirt, we do it. That means when you call us for grass mowing in Edwards Hill, NY, you’re working with people who understand how your land drains, what your soil does in spring, and how to keep things looking right all season.
We’re not the cheapest option. But we are the one that shows up, communicates clearly, and doesn’t tack on fees after the fact.
You reach out—text or call works. We’ll ask a few questions about your property size, terrain, and what you’re looking for. Then we give you a clear price. No vague estimates or “we’ll see when we get there.”
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule it. Josh or someone from our crew shows up on time with professional equipment. We mow, edge, and clean up any clippings or debris. If there’s an issue—wet ground, equipment trouble, whatever—we tell you upfront and adjust.
After the job, we do a walkthrough. If something’s not right, we handle it before we leave. You’re not chasing us down later or dealing with half-finished work. That’s the standard. It’s also why people keep calling us back season after season.

We bring the equipment, handle the mowing, and clean up when we’re done. That includes trimming edges, clearing clippings, and making sure your property looks finished—not just “technically mowed.”
In Edwards Hill, NY, properties vary. Some are flat and straightforward. Others have slopes, drainage issues, or sections that need more attention. We adjust based on what your land actually needs, not what’s easiest for us.
If you’re building a new home or just moved in, we also handle land mowing and site cleanup. A lot of our clients are in their 30s, building on raw land, and need more than just weekly cuts. We clear brush, prep sites, and handle the heavy work before regular maintenance even starts. That’s the advantage of working with a company that does excavation and trucking—not just lawn care.
We’ve seen lawn care budgets in New York go up nearly 20% since 2020. People are spending more because they want reliable service and don’t have time to do it themselves. We get that. You’re not paying for the cheapest guy with a mower. You’re paying for someone who shows up and does it right.
Most residential properties in Edwards Hill, NY fall between $44 and $63 per mowing, depending on size and terrain. If your lot is flat and under half an acre, you’re on the lower end. If there are slopes, obstacles, or overgrowth, it goes up.
We don’t give ballpark prices over the phone and then change them when we show up. We ask about your property, give you a clear number, and stick to it. If something changes—like you want us to handle brush clearing or trim around a new structure—we talk about it first.
The goal is transparency. You know what you’re paying before we start, and that number doesn’t shift unless the scope of work does.
We handle a lot more than just grass mowing in Edwards Hill, NY. Excavation is our core business—site prep, driveways, septic systems, land clearing. We also do trucking, material delivery, and we’re adding commercial snow removal this winter.
That matters because most lawn care companies can’t help you if your driveway needs grading or your property needs drainage work. We can. If you’re building a new home, we’ll clear the land, prep the site, install your septic and driveway, and then maintain your lawn once construction’s done.
It’s a one-stop setup. You’re not coordinating between three different contractors. You call us, and we handle it.
Most homeowners in Edwards Hill, NY mow weekly during peak growing season—late spring through summer. If we get a lot of rain or it’s particularly hot, grass grows faster and you might need it more often. In early spring and fall, every 10 days usually works.
We don’t push you into a schedule that doesn’t make sense. Some clients want us out every week no matter what. Others prefer we check in and adjust based on growth. Both work.
If you’re gone for a few weeks or the weather’s been dry, we’ll let you know if it makes sense to skip a cut. We’re not trying to rack up visits—we’re trying to keep your property looking right without wasting your money.
Josh is present on almost every job we do—whether it’s lawn mowing, excavation, or site work in Edwards Hill, NY. That’s not marketing talk. It’s how we operate.
When you’re running a family business and your reputation is tied to every property you touch, you don’t just send a crew and hope it goes well. Josh checks the work, talks to clients, and makes sure things are done to standard before we leave.
If there’s ever a day he’s not there, it’s because his son (who’s now a partner) or a senior crew member is handling it. Either way, someone who has a stake in the business is on your property. That’s the difference between us and companies where the owner’s never around.
We reschedule. Mowing wet grass tears it up, clogs equipment, and leaves your lawn looking worse than before. We’re not doing that just to check a box.
If rain’s in the forecast or the ground’s too soft, we’ll reach out and move your appointment to the next available day. Most of the time, that’s within 24 to 48 hours. We keep our schedule tight enough that we can adjust without pushing you out a week.
You’re not left guessing. We’ll text or call, let you know what’s happening, and get it rescheduled. If the weather’s been bad for days and everyone’s backed up, we’ll be straight with you about timing.
We offer 24-hour emergency services for excavation and site work, but lawn mowing doesn’t usually fall into that category. That said, if you’ve got an urgent situation—like a last-minute event at your property or you just closed on a house and the grass is out of control—call us.
We’ll do what we can to fit you in. Sometimes that’s same-day. Sometimes it’s next-day. Depends on what we’ve got scheduled and whether we can move things around without screwing over other clients.
We’ve been in business long enough to know that life happens. If it’s truly urgent and we can help, we will. Just don’t expect us to bump someone else who’s been on the schedule for two weeks unless it’s a real emergency.
