You’re not looking for someone to just mow and go. You want your property to look sharp without having to think about it every week. That means showing up on time, cutting at the right height for Stillwater’s climate, and handling the trimming work that most crews skip because it takes too long.
A well-maintained lawn isn’t just about curb appeal. It’s about protecting what you’ve invested in your home. Properties in Stillwater with consistent professional lawn maintenance can see value increases between 5.5% and 12.7%. For a $300,000 home, that’s potentially $16,000 to $38,000 in added value.
Our grass cutting service in Stillwater, NY covers the basics and the details. We’re talking clean edges, trimmed shrubs that don’t block your windows by July, and weed control that actually keeps up with what grows here. You get a lawn that looks like someone cares about it because someone does.
We started in Stillwater back in 1997. We’ve spent nearly three decades learning what works on Saratoga County properties and what doesn’t. Josh oversees virtually every job we take on, which means you’re not getting a different crew every week who doesn’t know your property.
We’re a family operation. Josh’s son joined as a partner in 2022, and we’re building something that lasts longer than a single season. That matters when you’re trusting someone with your property week after week.
Stillwater’s tight-knit. People talk. Our reputation here is built on showing up when we say we will and doing the work right the first time. We’re not the biggest operation in Saratoga County, and we’re fine with that. We’d rather be the one you call back every spring.
First, we come out to see your property. You’ll talk directly with Josh, not a sales rep reading from a script. We’ll walk the lawn, look at what needs regular attention, and talk through what you actually want handled. Shrub trimming services in Stillwater, NY aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is grass cutting. Your property gets a plan that makes sense for your lawn, not a template.
Once we agree on scope and schedule, we lock in your recurring service. Most of our clients in Stillwater prefer weekly or bi-weekly cuts during growing season, with shrub trimming and weed trimming service scheduled as needed. We’ll text or call before we come out, so you’re never caught off guard.
During each visit, we handle grass cutting at the proper height for the season, edge walkways and driveways, trim around obstacles, and haul off clippings if that’s part of your plan. If we spot an issue—disease, pest damage, drainage problems—we’ll let you know before it becomes expensive. After the job, we do a quick walkthrough to make sure it’s done right. You shouldn’t have to inspect our work, but you can if you want to.

Our lawn maintenance service covers the full scope of what keeps a Stillwater property looking sharp. Grass cutting happens at the right frequency for your lawn’s growth rate, which changes throughout the season. We adjust cutting height based on weather—higher during dry spells to protect roots, lower when conditions are right.
Shrub trimming services in Stillwater, NY keep your landscaping from overtaking walkways or blocking windows. We’re not talking about hacking everything into boxes. We trim to maintain the natural shape while keeping growth in check. Timing matters here. Some shrubs get trimmed in early spring, others after they bloom. We know the difference.
Weed trimming service handles edges, fence lines, and anywhere the mower can’t reach. This is where most crews cut corners because it’s tedious work. We don’t. Stillwater properties deal with specific challenges—snow damage recovery in spring, dry periods in summer that stress lawns, and heavy rainfall that can cause erosion and weed explosions. We’ve seen it all here, and we adjust our approach based on what your lawn is dealing with right now, not what worked on a property three towns over.
Most Stillwater properties need weekly cuts from mid-May through September. That’s when grass grows fastest and skipping even one week can leave you with a lawn that looks overgrown and takes longer to cut properly.
In early spring and late fall, you can usually stretch to every 10-14 days. Growth slows down when temperatures drop, and cutting too frequently can stress the grass when it’s trying to prepare for winter or recover from it.
Shrub trimming typically happens 2-3 times per season depending on the species. Fast-growing shrubs like privet or forsythia need more frequent attention. Slower ornamentals might only need one good trim in early summer. We’ll map out a schedule based on what’s actually planted on your property, not a generic calendar.
First, make sure they’ve been working in Stillwater for at least five years. Saratoga County has specific soil conditions and climate challenges. Someone who just moved their operation here from two counties over won’t know how lawns respond after our winters or during our dry spells.
Ask if the owner or a consistent crew handles your property. Rotating crews mean no one learns your lawn’s trouble spots—where it stays wet too long, where weeds always come back, where the mower needs to avoid tree roots. Consistency matters more than most people realize.
Check that they’re fully insured and licensed. If equipment damages your property or someone gets hurt on your lawn, you need to know you’re covered. Any legitimate operation will provide proof of insurance without you having to ask twice. Also ask about their equipment maintenance. Dull mower blades tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which stresses your lawn and makes it more susceptible to disease. Sharp blades and well-maintained equipment aren’t optional.
For a typical Stillwater residential property—quarter to half acre—you’re looking at $40-$75 per cut depending on lawn size, obstacles, and what’s included. Weekly service throughout the season usually runs $800-$1,500 total. Larger properties or those with extensive trimming needs will cost more.
Shrub trimming is usually priced per visit based on how many shrubs you have and how overgrown they are. Budget $100-$300 per trimming session for most residential properties. If your shrubs haven’t been touched in years, the first session costs more because there’s more work involved in getting them back to manageable size.
We give you an upfront estimate after seeing your property. No surprises, no hidden fees for “extra trimming” that should’ve been included from the start. The price we quote is the price you pay unless you ask us to handle something outside the original scope. We’re not the cheapest option in Saratoga County, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for consistency, quality equipment, and someone who shows up when they say they will. Cheap lawn care usually means rushed work, damaged grass from dull blades, and crews that disappear mid-season when they get busy.
Weather happens. Equipment breaks. We get it. If we can’t make your scheduled day, you’ll get a call or text as soon as we know. We’ll give you the next available day, which is usually within 24-48 hours of your original slot.
We don’t just skip your property and show up the following week like nothing happened. If we miss your day for any reason, we make it right. That might mean coming on a Saturday if that’s what it takes to keep your lawn on schedule.
Most delays in Stillwater happen because of heavy rain that makes lawns too wet to cut without tearing them up. Cutting wet grass damages your lawn and clogs equipment, which means poor results for you and longer job times for us. We’d rather delay a day and do it right than show up just to check a box. You’ll always know what’s happening and when we’ll be there. Communication isn’t optional in our business.
Active lawn maintenance in Stillwater runs roughly April through October, depending on when spring actually arrives and when we get our first hard freeze. That’s when grass is actively growing and needs regular cutting.
Outside of growing season, we offer fall cleanup services—leaf removal, final cuts, and preparing your lawn for winter. A proper fall cleanup prevents matted leaves from smothering grass and creating dead spots that you’ll have to deal with next spring. We also handle snow removal for residential and commercial properties, which we’re expanding this year.
Some clients keep us on year-round. We handle their lawn maintenance in season, fall cleanup in October/November, snow removal through winter, and spring cleanup when the snow melts. It’s easier than coordinating with multiple companies, and you’re working with people who already know your property. We’re not pushy about it, but the option’s there if it makes your life simpler.
We handle both. Regular maintenance keeps a healthy lawn healthy. But if you’ve got trouble spots—bare patches, areas where grass won’t grow, drainage issues causing constant wet spots—we can address those too.
Some problems are simple. Grass struggling in shaded areas might need a shade-tolerant seed variety. Bare spots from dog urine or heavy foot traffic usually just need overseeding and some time. We can handle that as part of a maintenance plan or as a separate project depending on severity.
Other issues require more work. If water pools in your yard after every rain, that’s a grading or drainage problem. We’ve got the excavation equipment and experience to fix that properly—not just throw some dirt on top and hope it helps. Poor soil quality, major pest damage, or areas where grass has failed multiple times might need soil amendment or a different approach entirely. We’ll tell you what’s actually needed to fix it, not just what’s easiest to sell you. Sometimes the answer is “this spot isn’t going to support grass no matter what we do, here’s what will work instead.” You deserve honesty, not optimism that costs you money with no results.
