You’re not looking for the cheapest lawn mowing service in East Greenwich, NY. You’re looking for someone who shows up when they say they will, cuts your grass evenly, edges the walkways, and doesn’t leave clippings all over your driveway.
That’s what happens when the same crew handles your property every week. No guessing who’s showing up or whether we’ll actually finish the job.
Your lawn stays consistent. The height is uniform. The edges are clean. And you’re not spending your Saturday afternoon pushing a mower in 85-degree heat while your family waits for you to be done. That time goes back to you—whether it’s for your kids, your projects, or just sitting down without a to-do list hanging over your head.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking started as a logging operation back in 1997. Over the years, we shifted into excavation, site prep, and property maintenance—including grass mowing and lawn care for residential properties across East Greenwich, NY.
Josh runs the business with his son. He’s on almost every job, which means quality control isn’t a policy—it’s just how we operate. You’re not getting a rotating cast of crews who don’t know your property.
East Greenwich homeowners deal with clay-heavy soil, seasonal moisture swings, and lawns that need consistent attention to stay ahead of weeds and uneven growth. We’ve been managing properties in this area long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
We start by walking your property to check for debris, sticks, or anything that shouldn’t go under the mower. That prevents damage to your lawn and our equipment.
Then we mow using commercial-grade equipment that cuts evenly and handles varying terrain without scalping or missing patches. We’re not rushing through to hit 15 lawns in a day. We’re making sure yours looks finished.
After mowing, we edge along walkways, driveways, and garden beds. Then we string-trim around trees, fences, and anywhere the mower can’t reach. Finally, we blow off all hard surfaces so grass clippings aren’t stuck to your driveway or sidewalk when we leave.
You get a text or call when we’re scheduled, and we show up in that window. If weather pushes us back, you’ll know before we’re supposed to be there. No ghosting, no surprises.

Every lawn mowing service in East Greenwich, NY includes mowing, edging, string trimming, and blowing off hard surfaces. You’re not paying extra for the basics.
We also adjust cutting height based on season and grass type. Spring growth is different than late summer dormancy, and cutting too short in July stresses your lawn and invites weeds. Most homeowners don’t think about that—we do.
East Greenwich properties often have mixed terrain: flat front yards, sloped sides, shaded back areas near tree lines. We adjust our approach depending on what your property needs, not what’s fastest for us. If your lawn has wet spots that need a few extra days to dry out before mowing, we’ll let you know instead of tearing it up with equipment.
You’ll also notice we don’t leave clumps of grass sitting on your lawn. We either mulch clippings back into the turf or remove them if they’re too heavy. That keeps your lawn looking clean and prevents thatch buildup that chokes out healthy growth.
Most residential properties in East Greenwich, NY need mowing once a week during peak growing season—typically late April through September. That keeps your grass at a healthy height without letting it get long enough to stress the lawn when it’s finally cut.
If you skip two weeks, you’re cutting off too much blade length at once. That shocks the grass, turns it brown, and opens the door for weeds to move in. Weekly mowing prevents that.
In early spring and late fall, you can sometimes stretch it to every 10 days depending on growth rate and weather. We’ll let you know if your lawn can handle a longer interval, but most people stick with weekly service because it’s predictable and keeps the property looking maintained.
The biggest difference is equipment and consistency. Commercial mowers cut more evenly, handle slopes and thick grass better, and don’t leave uncut strips or scalped patches like most residential mowers do after a season of use.
You’re also getting someone who’s checking blade sharpness, adjusting cutting height for conditions, and noticing early signs of problems like fungus, grub damage, or irrigation issues. Most homeowners don’t catch those things until the lawn is already struggling.
And then there’s time. The average homeowner spends 70 hours a year on lawn maintenance. That’s nearly two full work weeks you’re getting back. If your weekends are already packed with family plans, projects, or just trying to relax, handing off the mowing makes sense.
Yes. We handle land mowing for larger properties, overgrown lots, and areas that haven’t been maintained in a while. That’s a different process than residential lawn mowing—it requires heavier equipment and a different cutting approach.
If your property has tall grass, brush, or uneven terrain, we’ll walk it first to assess what’s needed. Sometimes that means multiple passes with different equipment. Other times it’s clearing debris or small saplings before we can even start mowing.
Land mowing is common in East Greenwich, NY for homeowners with acreage, vacant lots between builds, or properties that were neglected by previous owners. We’ve handled plenty of those situations, and we’ll give you a straight answer on what it’ll take to get it under control and keep it that way.
Most residential lawn mowing in East Greenwich, NY runs between $50 and $125 per visit depending on property size, terrain, and how much trimming and edging is involved. Larger properties or ones with obstacles like gardens, play sets, or steep slopes cost more because they take more time and care.
We don’t give quotes over the phone without seeing the property. Too many variables affect pricing—lawn size, access, how overgrown it is, whether there are flower beds to work around. We’d rather walk it, give you an accurate number, and not surprise you later.
If you’re paying significantly less than the range above, you’re probably getting rushed work, inconsistent crews, or someone who’s skipping steps like edging and blowing off hard surfaces. If you’re paying significantly more, you might be overpaying unless your property has unique challenges that justify it.
We avoid mowing wet grass whenever possible. Wet conditions cause clumping, uneven cuts, and turf damage—especially if the soil is soft and equipment leaves ruts. You end up with a worse-looking lawn than if we’d just waited a day.
If rain pushes your scheduled mowing back, we’ll reach out to reschedule. Most of the time that means a one or two-day delay, and we’ll get you back on the regular schedule the following week.
East Greenwich, NY gets its share of spring and summer rain, and we’d rather move your service than tear up your lawn or leave it looking sloppy. If your grass is getting long and weather keeps interfering, we’ll coordinate with you on the best window to get it handled without making things worse.
Lawn mowing in East Greenwich, NY typically runs from early April through late October, depending on when the grass starts and stops growing. Once frost hits and the grass goes dormant, there’s nothing to mow until spring.
Some years we’re still cutting into early November if it’s been warm and wet. Other years we’re done by mid-October. It depends entirely on the weather and how your lawn responds.
During the off-season, we shift to other property services like snow removal, land clearing, and site prep work. If you need year-round property maintenance, we can handle that too—it just won’t involve mowing once the grass stops growing.
