You’re spending 2-3 hours every week pushing a mower around your property. That’s nearly 150 hours a year you could be doing literally anything else.
Professional lawn mowing service means your grass gets cut at the right height, with sharp blades that don’t tear the grass. That matters more than most people think. Torn grass loses moisture faster, turns brown at the tips, and invites disease.
When you work with a local lawn mowing crew that knows Lake Vanare’s soil and seasonal patterns, your lawn stays healthier. Deeper roots. Better drought tolerance. Fewer brown patches by mid-July when everyone else’s yard looks fried.
You’re not just buying time back. You’re getting a lawn that actually looks better than when you did it yourself.
We’ve been working across Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties since 1997. We started in logging, moved into excavation full-time in 2020, and added lawn mowing services because property owners kept asking.
Josh is on almost every job. His son joined as a partner in 2022. We’re not a franchise with rotating crews who don’t know your property.
Lake Vanare sits in terrain we know well. The soil composition, the way grass grows near the water, the summer heat patterns—we’ve been working this area long enough to know what your lawn needs and when it needs it.
You call or text. We come out to see your property and give you a flat rate based on size and terrain. No surprises, no hourly guessing games.
Once you’re set up, we put you on a weekly schedule during peak growing season. That’s typically every 5-7 days from late spring through summer. Your grass never gets long enough to stress when we cut it.
We mow at the right height for your grass type—usually around 3 inches. That encourages deeper root growth and helps your lawn hold moisture better during dry stretches. Clippings get mulched back into the lawn unless you want them bagged.
Edges get trimmed. Walkways get blown off. We’re usually done and gone before you even know we were there. You just come home to a lawn that looks like you spent your Saturday on it.

Every lawn mowing service includes a full cut with commercial-grade equipment that’s maintained weekly. Sharp blades, clean cuts, no ragged edges that turn brown.
Trimming around obstacles, fence lines, and landscape beds is standard. We’re not just running a mower in straight lines and calling it done.
Grass clippings get mulched back into your lawn. That returns nitrogen to the soil and cuts down on the fertilizer you’ll need later in the season. Lake Vanare properties with good mulching practices can reduce fertilizer use by up to 25% annually.
If you’ve got slopes, uneven terrain, or areas near the water, we adjust our approach. The Adirondack region doesn’t have flat, easy lawns. We’ve been working this terrain long enough to know how to handle it without scalping your yard or leaving strips of tall grass.
Every 5-7 days during peak growth, which runs from late April through September in Lake Vanare. That keeps your grass at a healthy height without stressing it when we cut.
Letting grass get too long between cuts forces us to remove more than a third of the blade height at once. That shocks the grass, weakens the roots, and leaves your lawn looking thin and stressed for days after.
Weekly service matches your lawn’s natural growth rhythm. You avoid the cycle of overgrown-then-scalped that happens when people mow every two weeks or “whenever it looks bad.”
Around 3 inches for most grass types common to Lake Vanare and the surrounding area. Taller grass develops deeper roots, which means better drought tolerance and fewer brown patches when we hit a dry stretch in July or August.
Cutting too short—what most homeowners do—exposes the soil to more sun and heat. That dries everything out faster and gives weeds an easier path to germinate.
The “golf course look” that some people want actually weakens residential lawns. You’re not watering and fertilizing like a golf course, so your grass can’t recover from that kind of stress. Three inches is the sweet spot for health and appearance.
We mulch them back into the lawn unless you specifically want them bagged. Grass clippings are about 85% water and decompose quickly, returning nitrogen to the soil as they break down.
That’s free fertilizer. Bagging and removing clippings means you’ll need to apply more synthetic fertilizer later to replace those nutrients. Most Lake Vanare homeowners save money by mulching.
The exception is if your grass got too long between cuts and the clippings are thick enough to smother the lawn underneath. In that case, we’ll bag them. But with weekly service, that’s rarely an issue.
Dull mower blades. They tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, and those ragged edges dry out and turn brown within a day or two.
A clean cut from a sharp blade seals faster and holds moisture better. Your lawn looks green right after we mow and stays that way. We sharpen blades regularly—it’s part of the equipment maintenance we do every week.
Most homeowners don’t sharpen their blades often enough, if ever. That’s one of the biggest differences between DIY mowing and professional lawn mowing service. The equipment matters, and so does maintaining it.
We reschedule for the next dry day, usually within 24-48 hours. Mowing wet grass clumps up, clogs equipment, and leaves your lawn looking uneven.
Wet soil also compacts easier under mower weight, which damages root systems over time. We’d rather push your service back a day than do a sloppy job or hurt your lawn.
You’re not charged extra for weather delays. We build flexibility into our schedule during spring and early summer when rain is more frequent in the Lake Vanare area. Your lawn still gets cut on a consistent weekly rhythm—we just adjust the exact day when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate.
Yes. Lake Vanare properties often have terrain challenges—slopes down to the water, uneven ground, rocky sections. We’ve been working in this area long enough to know how to navigate it safely.
We use equipment appropriate for the terrain. Steep slopes get handled with walk-behind mowers that give us better control. Flat sections get cut with larger equipment for efficiency.
The goal is a consistent cut across your entire property without scalping high spots or leaving tall strips in low areas. That takes experience with local terrain, not just a mower and good intentions. We’ve been doing excavation work in three counties since the ’90s—reading land and working around obstacles is what we do.
