Your lawn gets consistent attention from people who know what they’re doing. That means grass cut at the right height for the season, shrubs trimmed before they overtake your walkway, and weeds handled before they spread across your yard.
You’re not scrambling to find time between work and family obligations. You’re not making multiple trips to the hardware store for equipment you’ll use twice a year. The work gets done on schedule, and your property looks maintained without you lifting a finger.
This isn’t about luxury. It’s about getting back the time you’d rather spend doing something else while keeping your home looking like someone actually lives there and cares about it.
We’ve been operating in the Ballston Spa area since 1997. What started as a logging operation became a full-service excavation and property maintenance company, and Josh is still on almost every job.
That matters because you’re not getting a different crew every week who doesn’t know your property. You’re working with people who understand Ballston Spa’s soil, weather patterns, and what it takes to keep grass healthy through humid summers and unpredictable spring conditions.
We’re not trying to be the cheapest option in town. We’re here to do the work right, show up when we say we will, and build the kind of relationship where you call us first because you know what you’re getting.
It starts with a quick walkthrough of your property. We look at what needs regular attention, what’s seasonal, and what kind of schedule makes sense for your lawn’s growth patterns and your budget.
From there, we set up a maintenance plan. That typically includes weekly or bi-weekly grass cutting service in Ballston Spa during peak growing season, shrub trimming services when needed, and weed trimming service around edges, beds, and hard-to-reach spots. You’re not locked into anything complicated—just consistent care on a schedule that works.
We show up, do the work, and clean up after ourselves. If something looks off or needs attention beyond the usual mowing and trimming, we’ll let you know before we do anything extra. No surprises, no upsells you didn’t ask for.

Standard lawn maintenance in Ballston Spa, NY covers mowing, edging, and blowing off driveways and walkways. We’re cutting your grass at the right height for the season—not scalping it in July or leaving it too long going into fall.
Shrub trimming services keep your bushes shaped and away from windows, siding, and walkways. Weed trimming service handles the spots a mower can’t reach: along fences, around trees, next to garden beds. It’s the detail work that makes a property look finished instead of half-done.
Ballston Spa’s clay-heavy soil and variable spring weather mean your lawn needs attention that matches local conditions. We’re not following some generic schedule from a national franchise. We’re adjusting based on what’s actually happening with your grass, your property, and the weather patterns we see every year working in this area.
Most lawns in Ballston Spa need weekly cuts from late April through September. That’s when grass grows fastest and skipping even one week can leave you with clumps and uneven growth.
During peak summer heat in July and August, you might stretch it to every 10 days if we’re in a dry spell. Early spring and late fall, bi-weekly is usually enough since growth slows down.
The schedule isn’t set in stone. If we get a week of heavy rain in June, grass shoots up and needs attention. If it’s been dry for two weeks in August, we’re not cutting just to cut. We adjust based on actual growth, not a calendar.
A decent mower runs $300-$600 and needs maintenance, fuel, and storage space. Add a trimmer, edger, and blower, and you’re into equipment costs before you’ve cut grass once. Then there’s your time—three hours every weekend is 12 hours a month you’re not getting back.
Professional lawn maintenance in Ballston Spa typically runs $35-$60 per visit depending on lot size. For most homeowners, that’s less than the hidden costs of DIY when you factor in equipment depreciation, your hourly rate, and the reality that your Saturday is worth something.
The bigger difference is consistency. Your lawn gets the same quality cut every time, not whatever you have energy for after a long week. And if your mower breaks down in June, that’s not your problem to solve.
We handle both. Spring cleanup in Ballston Spa usually means clearing winter debris, cutting back dead growth, and getting beds ready before everything starts growing. That’s typically a late March or early April job depending on when the ground thaws.
Fall cleanup is leaf removal, final cuts before winter, and trimming back anything that shouldn’t go into the cold season overgrown. Most properties need this done in late October or early November.
These aren’t included in weekly maintenance pricing—they’re separate jobs because they take more time and equipment. But if you’re already using us for regular cuts, we’re scheduling you in and you’re not scrambling to find someone in October when everyone’s booked.
We reschedule and let you know. If it’s pouring rain on your scheduled day, we’re not showing up to churn up your lawn and leave ruts. We’ll hit you later in the week when conditions are better.
Ballston Spa gets its share of surprise afternoon storms and wet springs. That’s part of working in upstate New York. We build flexibility into the schedule because we know weather here doesn’t follow predictions.
If we’re running behind because of weather delays across multiple properties, you’ll get a text. You’re not sitting around wondering if we’re coming. And if your lawn’s gotten too long because of delays, we’re not charging extra to deal with it—that’s on us to manage.
Yes. We started as an excavation company, so we’re used to working on properties that aren’t flat and perfect. Slopes, wet spots, uneven terrain—that’s normal for us.
Ballston Spa has plenty of properties with elevation changes and clay soil that holds water. We know how to mow a slope without scalping the high spots or leaving the low areas too long. We know where to be careful around drainage areas and where you need different equipment than a standard push mower.
If your property has legitimate access issues or terrain that makes regular maintenance impractical, we’ll tell you that upfront. But most properties that seem “difficult” to homeowners are just standard work for a crew that knows what they’re doing.
You don’t need to be home. Once we’ve done the initial walkthrough and know your property, we show up, do the work, and lock any gates behind us.
Most of our clients aren’t home during the day. You’ll get a text when we’re scheduled, and you can reach out if something specific needs attention that week. Otherwise, you come home to a cut lawn and don’t have to think about it.
If something unusual comes up—equipment breaks, we notice a problem with your irrigation, a tree branch came down—we’ll call or text before we leave. But for standard maintenance, you’re not managing us. We’re managing the work.
