You get your weekends back. That’s the first thing most people notice when they stop spending Saturday mornings behind a mower in the Orleans County heat.
But there’s more to it than free time. A lawn that’s cut consistently at the right height stays healthier through dry spells and recovers faster after heavy rain. Weeds don’t take over as easily. Your property looks like someone lives there and cares about it.
When you work with a local lawn mowing service in Knowlesville, NY that uses commercial equipment and knows how New York grass behaves through the seasons, you’re not just paying for a cut. You’re maintaining your property value and keeping your home looking the way it should without the hassle of doing it yourself or wondering if someone’s actually going to show up.
We handle residential properties across Orleans County with the same attention we’d give our own. You’ll get even cuts, clean edges, and none of the runaround that comes with companies juggling too many clients or using equipment that’s barely holding together.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking started as a logging operation nearly three decades ago. We’ve been working properties across Saratoga, Warren, and Washington counties ever since, and now we’re bringing that same level of care to lawn mowing services in Knowlesville, NY and the surrounding Orleans County area.
Josh runs the business with his son, who joined as a partner in 2022. We’re on almost every job. That’s not something you’ll hear from most companies, but it’s how we operate. When you call, you’re talking to someone who’s actually going to be there doing the work or overseeing it.
We’re not trying to be the cheapest option in town. We’re here to be the last lawn mowing company you’ll need to call because we do it right the first time and keep showing up when we say we will.
You reach out by phone or text. We’ll ask about your property size, what kind of terrain we’re dealing with, and how often you want service. Most homeowners in Knowlesville, NY need weekly cuts during peak growing season and can stretch it to every ten days once things slow down in late summer.
We’ll give you a clear price upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees, no upselling you on services you didn’t ask for. If your property needs something beyond basic grass mowing, we’ll tell you, but we’re not going to push it.
Once we’re scheduled, we show up on the day we commit to. We mow with commercial-grade equipment that handles uneven ground and thick growth without tearing up your lawn. We edge where it matters, blow off driveways and walkways, and leave your property cleaner than we found it.
You don’t need to be home. You don’t need to move anything unless there’s something in the way that could damage equipment. We handle it and move on to the next job. If something comes up or the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll let you know and reschedule without the runaround.

Every lawn mowing service in Knowlesville, NY we do includes mowing at the correct height for your grass type, edging along driveways and walkways, and cleanup afterward. We’re not leaving clumps of grass sitting in your yard or blowing clippings into your flower beds.
We use equipment that’s maintained regularly, so you’re not dealing with uneven cuts or damage from dull blades. That matters more than most people realize. A clean cut helps grass stay healthy. A torn, ragged cut from cheap or poorly maintained equipment opens the door to disease and browning.
Orleans County properties deal with clay-heavy soil in some areas and sandy loam in others. We adjust how we approach each property based on what the ground’s actually like, not some one-size-fits-all method. If your lawn’s on a slope or has low spots that hold water, we’re careful about timing and technique so we’re not rutting up your yard.
Most homeowners around here are paying between $40 and $50 per cut for an average-sized residential lot. Larger properties or land mowing projects cost more, but we’ll walk the property and give you an accurate number before we start. You’ll know what you’re paying and what you’re getting.
Weekly during May through July when grass is growing fastest. You can usually stretch it to every ten days in August and September when growth slows down.
Waiting too long between cuts means you’re removing more than a third of the grass blade at once, which stresses the lawn and makes it more vulnerable to heat and drought. It also leaves heavy clumps of clippings that smother the grass underneath.
If you’re not sure what schedule makes sense for your property, we’ll recommend one based on how your lawn’s actually growing, not just what’s easiest for our schedule.
Residential lawn mowing is what most people think of—maintained grass around your home that gets cut regularly with a standard mower. Land mowing is for larger areas, overgrown fields, or properties that haven’t been maintained in a while.
Land mowing uses heavier equipment that can handle tall grass, brush, and uneven terrain. It’s common for new homeowners in Orleans County who are clearing a building site or cleaning up a property they just bought.
If you’re not sure which service you need, just describe what you’re dealing with. We’ve been doing excavation and site work since 1997, so we’ve seen everything from quarter-acre lawns to multi-acre parcels that need serious clearing.
Both. If you just need a one-time cut because you’re selling a property, getting ready for an event, or catching up after a few missed weeks, we can do that.
Most of our clients prefer regular service because it’s easier to maintain a lawn when it’s cut consistently, and you’re not scrambling to find someone available when the grass gets out of control. But we’re not locking you into anything you don’t want.
Seasonal service means you’re on the schedule and we show up every week or every ten days depending on what we agreed to. One-time service means you call when you need us. Both work. It just depends on what makes sense for your situation.
Not if we’re careful, and we are. Wet ground is common in Knowlesville, NY, especially in spring and after heavy rain. We don’t mow when the soil is saturated to the point where equipment will leave ruts or compact the soil.
If your lawn’s just damp on the surface but the ground underneath is firm, we can usually mow without issue. If it’s genuinely soggy, we’ll reschedule. It’s not worth tearing up your yard to stay on schedule.
Some companies will mow no matter what because they’re trying to hit as many properties as possible in a day. We’d rather push a job back a day or two than leave your lawn worse than we found it.
No. Most of our clients aren’t home when we’re there. As long as we can access your property and there’s nothing in the way that could damage equipment, we’re good to go.
If you have a dog that needs to be inside or a gate that needs to be opened, just let us know ahead of time. We’ll work around it. If something comes up while we’re there—a sprinkler head we didn’t see, a section that’s too wet to mow—we’ll text or call you.
You don’t need to move patio furniture or kids’ toys unless they’re sitting in the middle of the lawn. We’ll mow around obstacles and let you know if something’s in the way that we can’t work around.
We’ll let you know as soon as we know, and we’ll reschedule for the next available day. Weather’s the most common reason we’d need to push a job, but equipment issues or emergencies happen occasionally too.
You won’t be left guessing whether we’re coming or not. If we’re running behind or need to move your appointment, you’ll get a text or call. We’re not the kind of company that just doesn’t show up and makes you track us down for an explanation.
If we do need to reschedule, we’ll prioritize getting you back on the calendar quickly so your lawn doesn’t get out of hand. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that communication is half the job.
