You’re not looking for the cheapest cut. You want your property to look sharp without eating up your weekends or dealing with flaky contractors who show up when they feel like it.
That’s what professional lawn mowing in Fenimore, NY should give you—a yard that stays consistent all season, equipment that doesn’t tear up your grass, and a crew that shows up on schedule. When you’re building a new home or managing an established property, the last thing you need is another headache on your plate.
Our grass mowing service keeps your lawn healthy through the growing season. Sharp blades, proper cutting height, and attention to detail that comes from decades working Adirondack properties. You get the curb appeal without the time sink, and your property stays maintained by people who understand local soil and seasonal challenges.
We started Emerson Excavating and Trucking in 1997, and we’ve been working properties across Fenimore, NY and the surrounding Adirondack region ever since. Josh is on almost every job—not because we don’t trust our crew, but because that’s how we’ve always done it.
We added lawn mowing services because our excavation clients kept asking. When you’re already clearing land and prepping sites for new construction, it makes sense to stick around and help maintain what you built. Now we’re the same crew handling your site prep, your driveway, and your grass mowing—one relationship, fewer coordination headaches.
We’re not the biggest operation in the area, and we’re fine with that. You’ll work with the same family business that’s been earning trust here for over 25 years, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
You reach out by text or call—whatever’s easier for you. We’ll ask about your property size, current lawn condition, and how often you’re looking for service. Most residential properties in Fenimore, NY need weekly cuts during peak growing season, but we’ll give you an honest assessment based on what we see.
We come out, take a look at your property, and give you a clear price. No hidden fees, no surprises later. If you’re good with it, we get you on the schedule.
From there, it’s simple. We show up on your scheduled day, mow with commercial-grade equipment, and make sure your property looks clean when we leave. If weather pushes us back a day, we’ll let you know. If something changes on your end, just shoot us a text.
You’re not locked into anything complicated. We’re here to make your lawn maintenance one less thing you have to think about, and we’ll keep showing up as long as you need us.

Our lawn mowing service in Fenimore, NY covers the basics you’d expect—mowing, edging, and cleanup. We’re using commercial equipment that’s maintained regularly, which means cleaner cuts and healthier grass compared to dull blades that tear instead of slice.
We adjust cutting height based on season and grass type. Spring growth is different than late summer, and Adirondack properties have their own quirks depending on sun exposure and soil drainage. We’ve been working this area long enough to know what works.
If you’ve got land mowing needs beyond a standard residential lawn—larger acreage, overgrown areas, or rougher terrain—we handle that too. Our excavation background means we’re comfortable with properties that need more than a push mower, and we’ve got the equipment to back it up.
Fenimore homeowners are dealing with a shorter growing season than downstate, but when it’s on, it’s on. Consistent professional lawn mowing keeps you ahead of it instead of scrambling every weekend. And because we’re local, we’re not disappearing mid-season to chase work elsewhere.
Pricing depends on your property size, terrain, and how often you need service. Most residential lawns in Fenimore, NY fall somewhere in the $40-50 range per visit, which aligns with state averages for professional grass mowing.
Larger properties or land mowing projects cost more because they take more time and equipment. If your lot has steep grades, obstacles, or overgrown sections, that factors in too. We’ll give you an upfront estimate after seeing your property—no guessing games, no surprise charges later.
Weekly service during peak season is the most common setup, but we can adjust frequency based on growth patterns and your budget. Some properties only need cuts every 10 days. We’re not here to oversell you on service you don’t need.
Most Fenimore, NY properties need weekly mowing from late spring through early fall when grass is actively growing. That’s typically May through September, depending on weather and how wet the season is.
If we get a lot of rain, growth speeds up and you might need more frequent cuts to avoid scalping when we finally get back on it. Dry spells slow things down, and we can stretch to every 10 days without the lawn looking shaggy. We’ll give you honest feedback based on what we’re seeing.
The goal is keeping your grass at a healthy height—usually around 3 inches—so it stays thick and crowds out weeds naturally. Letting it get too long and then cutting it short stresses the lawn and opens the door for problems. Consistent professional lawn mowing keeps it in that sweet spot without you having to think about it.
We handle both. Standard residential lawn mowing in Fenimore, NY is part of what we do, but our excavation background means we’re set up for larger land mowing projects too.
If you’ve got acreage that’s overgrown, fields that need brush hogging, or rough terrain that’s beyond a typical lawn service, we’ve got the equipment and experience. We’ve been clearing land and prepping sites since 1997, so mowing larger properties is well within our wheelhouse.
A lot of our clients are building new homes on raw land, and they need everything from initial clearing to ongoing maintenance once construction wraps. Working with one crew for all of it—excavation, site prep, driveways, and lawn mowing—eliminates the coordination headaches of juggling multiple contractors. You’re dealing with people who already know your property.
We’re not a lawn-only company. We’re excavation contractors who added grass mowing because our clients kept asking for it, and it made sense given the properties we were already working on.
That means you’re getting a crew that understands land—drainage, grading, soil conditions—not just someone pushing a mower. Josh is present on almost every job, so there’s consistent quality control. We’ve been operating in Fenimore, NY and the surrounding area since 1997, and we’re a second-generation family business now with Josh’s son as a partner.
We’re also not bouncing between five counties chasing volume. We’re local, we know the area, and we’re focused on being your long-term contractor—not just for lawn mowing, but for whatever your property needs as it evolves. That relationship approach is how we’ve built our reputation, and it’s how we plan to keep it.
We handle both residential and commercial properties. Most of our lawn mowing work in Fenimore, NY right now is residential, but we’re actively expanding into commercial and industrial accounts.
Our excavation side already includes commercial site work, so we’re familiar with the expectations—consistent scheduling, professional appearance, and reliability. Commercial properties usually need more frequent service and tighter timelines, which we’re set up to handle as we add crews.
If you’ve got a business property, rental units, or a commercial lot that needs regular maintenance, we’re happy to talk through what that looks like. We’re also adding commercial snow removal this winter, so if you’re looking for a contractor who can handle multiple property needs year-round, that’s the direction we’re headed.
Yes. We carry full licensing and insurance that covers our lawn mowing services and all our excavation work. That protects your property and gives you peace of mind if anything unexpected happens.
A lot of smaller lawn crews operate without proper coverage, which puts you at risk if someone gets hurt on your property or if equipment causes damage. We’ve been doing this since 1997, and we’ve always operated above board—proper insurance, proper equipment maintenance, proper business practices.
You’re not just hiring someone with a truck and a mower. You’re working with an established local contractor who’s been serving Fenimore, NY and the Adirondack region for over 25 years. We plan to be here another 25, and that means doing things the right way from the start.
