You’re not looking for the cheapest grass cutting service in Crescent, NY. You want someone who shows up when they say they will, cuts it right, trims what needs trimming, and doesn’t leave you wondering if they’ll ghost you next month.
That’s what professional lawn maintenance looks like here. Your grass stays even. Your shrubs don’t look like someone took hedge trimmers to them blindfolded. Weeds get handled before they take over. And you’re not spending 70 hours a year pushing a mower around when you’d rather be doing literally anything else.
We handle residential properties across Crescent and the surrounding area. Mowing, edging, shrub trimming services, weed trimming service—the stuff that keeps your property looking like you care about it without you having to block off every Saturday from May to October.
You get consistent results because Josh is on almost every job. Not a different crew every week. Not some kid who showed up yesterday. A family business that’s been working land in this area since 1997 and actually knows what Crescent soil and weather does to a lawn.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking started in 1997. We’ve been managing land in Saratoga, Warren, and Washington counties for nearly three decades. Josh runs the operation with his son, who joined as a partner in 2022. This isn’t a franchise or some outfit that’s here today and gone next season.
We moved into full-time excavation and land services in 2020, and lawn maintenance in Crescent, NY became a natural extension of what we already do. We know the properties here. We understand what Crescent’s clay-heavy soil does during wet springs and how fast things dry out in July.
You’re hiring a contractor who’s going to be around next year. And the year after that. We’re building long-term relationships with property owners who want their lawn care handled by someone who treats it like it matters—because to you, it does.
First, we come out and look at your property. We’re checking lawn size, what kind of trimming you need, how often you want service, and whether there are any problem areas that need attention. You get a clear estimate. No hidden fees.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we set a schedule that works for your property. Most residential lawns in Crescent, NY need cutting weekly during peak growing season and every other week as things slow down. We adjust based on weather and growth—not some rigid calendar that doesn’t match reality.
On service days, we mow, edge, trim shrubs if that’s part of your plan, and handle weed trimming around fences, walkways, and anywhere else it’s creeping in. We’re not just running a mower in straight lines and calling it done. The property gets cleaned up before we leave.
You’ll see the same crew most of the time. Josh is on-site for almost every job, so if something needs adjusting or you have a question, you’re talking to someone who can actually make decisions. We’re not a call center operation where you’re three transfers away from someone who knows what’s happening with your lawn.

Lawn maintenance in Crescent, NY means more than just cutting grass. You’re dealing with properties that have mature trees dropping debris, shrubs that grow fast in spring, and weeds that love to set up camp along driveways and fence lines.
Our grass cutting service covers mowing and edging to keep lines clean and growth even. Shrub trimming services keep your foundation plantings and hedges shaped without turning them into stumps. Weed trimming service tackles the spots a mower can’t reach—around posts, along beds, next to structures.
We bring the right equipment for residential properties. Well-maintained mowers that won’t tear up your lawn. Trimmers that actually cut instead of just beating plants into submission. And we haul away clippings if that’s what you want—no piles left sitting in your yard.
Crescent’s weather throws curveballs. Wet springs mean faster growth and more frequent cuts. Dry summers mean adjusting schedules so we’re not scalping your lawn when it’s already stressed. We’ve been working properties in this area long enough to know what each season demands, and we adjust service to match conditions—not some one-size-fits-all approach that ignores what’s actually happening outside.
Most residential properties in Crescent, NY run between $40 and $80 per cut, depending on lot size and what’s included. A quarter-acre lot with basic mowing and edging sits on the lower end. Larger properties or service that includes shrub trimming and weed control cost more.
We price based on what your property actually needs, not some formula that assumes every lawn is the same. If you’ve got a flat, open half-acre with no obstacles, that’s straightforward. If you’ve got slopes, tight spaces, or a bunch of landscaping that requires detail work, that takes more time and care.
You’ll get a clear estimate upfront. We’re not showing up and tacking on surprise charges because we “didn’t realize” something about your property. And if you want ongoing service, we can set up a seasonal contract that locks in pricing and guarantees you’re on the schedule every week.
Most lawns in Crescent, NY need cutting weekly from mid-May through June when growth is heaviest. You can usually stretch to every 10 days or two weeks in July and August when things slow down, then back to weekly in early fall if we get rain.
Waiting too long between cuts creates problems. If grass gets too tall, cutting it back stresses the lawn and leaves clumps of clippings that smother healthy growth underneath. You end up with uneven color and patchy spots that take weeks to recover.
We adjust schedules based on weather and actual growth, not some rigid calendar. If we get a wet week in July and everything shoots up, we’re cutting. If it’s been dry and growth stalls, we’re not showing up just to run a mower over grass that doesn’t need it. You’re paying for what your lawn actually requires, and we’ll tell you honestly what that looks like as conditions change.
Yes. We work with commercial properties that need reliable lawn care without the hassle of managing it themselves. Office complexes, rental properties, small industrial sites—anywhere that needs consistent maintenance and a contractor who’s going to show up on schedule.
Commercial properties have different needs than residential. You’re often dealing with larger areas, higher visibility, and expectations that the property looks maintained at all times. Tenants notice. Clients notice. And if the lawn looks like nobody’s touched it in three weeks, that reflects poorly on your business.
We handle commercial lawn maintenance in Crescent, NY the same way we handle residential—consistent service, clear communication, and pricing that doesn’t change every month because we “found something new.” You’ll work directly with Josh, not some account manager who’s never seen your property. And if something needs attention between scheduled visits, we’re a text or call away.
We reschedule and get to your property as soon as conditions allow. Heavy rain, saturated ground, or storms push things back—that’s reality in New York, and cutting wet grass tears up your lawn more than waiting a day does.
You’re not getting skipped for the week. If Monday’s service gets pushed to Wednesday because of weather, we adjust the route and make sure your property still gets handled. We’re managing schedules across multiple properties, so some flexibility is built in.
If weather creates a backlog and your grass is getting too long, we’ll prioritize properties that need it most and communicate what’s happening. You won’t be left wondering if we forgot about you. And if conditions have been terrible for a week straight and everything’s overgrown, we’re not charging you extra because Mother Nature didn’t cooperate—that’s part of working outdoors in Crescent, NY, and we account for it.
Yes. Most customers want everything handled in one visit, and that’s how we typically structure service. We’re already on your property cutting grass—adding weed trimming service around edges and shrub trimming services for foundation plants makes sense and saves you from coordinating multiple appointments.
Weed trimming covers fence lines, around posts, along walkways, and anywhere else weeds are creeping in that a mower can’t reach. Shrub trimming keeps foundation plantings shaped and hedges maintained so they don’t block windows or start looking wild.
If you only want grass cutting and you’re handling the rest yourself, that’s fine too. But most property owners in Crescent, NY would rather have one contractor take care of the whole picture. It’s less coordination, less hassle, and your property gets consistent attention from people who know what it looked like last week and what it should look like next week.
Because your time is worth something, and lawn maintenance in Crescent, NY eats up more of it than most people realize. The average homeowner spends 70 hours a year on lawn care. That’s nearly two full work weeks you’re spending pushing a mower, trimming, and dealing with equipment that breaks down at the worst possible time.
Professional lawn maintenance means you’re not buying a $400 mower, a $150 trimmer, gas, oil, and blade sharpening tools. You’re not spending Saturday mornings doing something you’d rather not be doing. And you’re getting results that actually look consistent because someone who does this daily is handling it—not someone who’s trying to remember how the edger works.
Your lawn also benefits from proper equipment and people who know what they’re doing. Dull mower blades tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which stresses your lawn and creates brown tips. Cutting too short scalps the grass and opens the door for weeds. We’ve been managing properties since 1997, and we know what Crescent’s soil and climate demand. You get a better-looking lawn with less effort on your end, and that’s the whole point of hiring a professional lawn maintenance contractor.
