You’re not looking for the cheapest lawn mowing service in Big Hollow. You’re looking for someone who shows up when they say they will, cuts your grass at the right height, and doesn’t leave clumps all over your yard when it’s slightly damp.
That’s what happens when you work with a crew that’s been doing this since 1997. Your lawn looks clean. Your neighbors notice. And you’re not spending Saturday morning pushing a mower around in the heat.
We handle weekly or bi-weekly grass mowing from late April through October, sometimes into early November depending on the season. You get consistent service that adjusts to Big Hollow’s unpredictable spring weather and keeps your property looking sharp all season long. No guessing when we’ll show up. No excuses about equipment breakdowns.
We started Emerson Excavating and Trucking in 1997 and have been serving Big Hollow and the surrounding area ever since. Josh runs the operation, and he’s on almost every job. When something needs attention, you’re talking to the person who can actually fix it.
We’re not a corporate lawn care company with rotating crews and call centers. We’re a father-and-son operation that owns our equipment, knows the area, and builds relationships that last years. If you need land mowing for a larger property or lawn mowing service that extends beyond just cutting grass, we handle that too.
Big Hollow homeowners deal with cool-season grasses like Kentucky Bluegrass and fescues. We know how to cut them properly and when to adjust our approach based on spring moisture or summer heat.
You reach out by text or call. We come out, look at your property, and give you a clear estimate based on your lot size and how often you want service. No hidden fees. No surprises later.
Once you’re scheduled, we show up on your assigned day and handle the mowing. We cut at the right height—usually 3 inches or more—to keep your grass healthy and avoid stressing it out. We follow the one-third rule, which means we’re never scalping your lawn just to make it look short.
If the weather’s bad or your lawn’s too wet, we’ll adjust the schedule rather than tear up your yard. After the cut, we make sure everything looks clean. You’re not dealing with clumps of grass or uneven strips.
You get consistent service from late spring through fall. If you need other work done—land clearing, driveway grading, site prep—we handle that too. One company, multiple services, same level of care.

Every grass mowing appointment in Big Hollow includes a full cut of your lawn with professional equipment that we own and maintain. You’re not dealing with rented machines or backup equipment that barely runs.
We adjust cutting height based on the season and your grass type. In spring, we’re careful with wet conditions. In summer, we keep the height up to protect your lawn from heat stress. In fall, we prepare your property for dormancy.
Big Hollow’s climate means your lawn needs attention from late April into October, sometimes longer. We schedule weekly service for most customers, though bi-weekly works if your lawn grows slower or you’re managing a tighter budget. The average cost for professional lawn mowing in New York runs between $34 and $63 depending on lot size and frequency.
We also handle larger properties that need land mowing or brush management. If you’ve got acreage or sections that need more than a standard mower, we’ve got the equipment and experience to manage it. Same reliability, just scaled to your property size.
Most homeowners in Big Hollow schedule weekly lawn mowing from late April through October. That keeps your grass at a healthy height and prevents overgrowth that stresses the lawn when it’s finally cut.
If your lawn grows slower or you’re managing costs, bi-weekly service works too. Just know that when you wait two weeks, there’s more grass to cut, and if it rains during that window, the job gets trickier. Weekly service gives you the most consistent results and keeps your property looking maintained.
We adjust the schedule based on weather. If it’s a wet spring or a dry summer, we’ll talk through what makes sense. You’re not locked into a rigid plan that doesn’t account for how your lawn actually grows.
For cool-season grasses like Kentucky Bluegrass and fescues—which is what most Big Hollow lawns have—you want to keep your grass around 3 inches or higher. Cutting it shorter might look neat for a day, but it stresses the grass and makes it more vulnerable to heat, weeds, and disease.
We follow the one-third rule, which means we never remove more than one-third of the grass blade in a single cut. If your lawn gets too tall between mowing, we’ll adjust over a couple of cuts rather than scalping it all at once.
Taller grass also develops deeper roots, which helps your lawn survive dry stretches in July and August. It’s not just about appearance. It’s about keeping your lawn healthy all season long.
No. Mowing wet grass leads to clumping, uneven cuts, and potential damage to your lawn. It also increases the risk of disease because wet clippings sit on the grass and create moisture problems.
If your scheduled day lands during a rainy stretch, we’ll adjust and come back when conditions are better. Big Hollow gets unpredictable spring weather, and we’d rather reschedule than tear up your yard with equipment or leave a mess behind.
You’re not paying for a rushed job that creates more problems. You’re paying for professional lawn mowing that’s done right, even if that means waiting an extra day for the ground to dry out.
Pricing depends on your lot size and how often you want service. In New York, the average cost for lawn mowing runs between $34 and $63 per visit. Weekly service typically falls on the higher end of that range, while bi-weekly or monthly service costs less per visit but covers more growth each time.
We give you a clear estimate after looking at your property. No hidden fees. No surprise charges because your grass was taller than expected. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
If you need other services—land clearing, driveway work, site prep—we can bundle those into a broader plan. We’re not just a lawn mowing company. We handle multiple aspects of property maintenance, and that often saves you time and money compared to hiring separate contractors.
The mowing season in Big Hollow typically runs from late April through the end of October. Some years we’re still cutting grass into early November if temperatures stay warm and the grass keeps growing.
It all depends on the weather. If we get a cold snap in October, your lawn goes dormant earlier. If it stays mild, you’ll need a few more cuts. We don’t operate on a fixed calendar. We adjust based on how your lawn actually behaves.
Once temperatures consistently drop below 50°F, your grass stops growing and there’s no need to keep mowing. We’ll let you know when it’s time to wrap up for the season, and if you need fall cleanup or other property work, we handle that too.
Yes. If you’ve got acreage or sections of your property that need more than a standard residential mower, we handle land mowing in Big Hollow with the right equipment. We’re not just cutting small suburban lawns. We manage larger properties, overgrown areas, and land that needs regular maintenance.
We own our equipment rather than renting it, which means we’re not limited by what’s available or dealing with breakdowns that delay your job. If you need brush cleared, rough terrain managed, or sections of land maintained on a schedule, we’ve done it before.
That’s part of being a full-service excavation and property maintenance company. You’re not calling one contractor for lawn mowing and another for land clearing. You’re working with one crew that handles it all and knows your property inside and out.
