You get your weekends back. That’s the first thing most people notice when they stop spending Saturday mornings behind a mower in Stillwater’s humid summers.
Your property looks like someone actually cares about it. Consistent grass cutting means even height, clean edges, and a lawn that doesn’t become the eyesore on the block. That matters when you’ve invested in your home and want it to show.
You avoid the equipment headache entirely. No storing a mower through New York winters, no maintenance costs, no wondering if it’ll start when you need it. Our professional lawn mowing service in Stillwater, NY means we handle the equipment, the schedule, and the work. You handle everything else you’d rather be doing.
The grass stays healthier through the season. Regular mowing at the right height helps your lawn handle summer heat and the transition into fall. We’re not just cutting grass—we’re maintaining it the way it needs to be maintained in this climate.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking started in 1997, and we’ve been serving Saratoga, Warren, and Washington counties ever since. Josh runs the business with his son, and you’ll see Josh on almost every job. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how we operate.
We’re not trying to be the biggest lawn mowing company in Stillwater, NY. We’re trying to be the one you call back. That means showing up when we say we will, doing the work right, and treating your property the way we’d want ours treated.
You’re working with people who live here, understand the local conditions, and have been doing this long enough to know what works. We’re not learning on your lawn. We’re applying 27 years of experience to it.
You reach out, and we schedule a time to look at your property. We’ll assess the size, terrain, and any specific challenges your lawn presents. Then we give you a clear, upfront price—no surprises later.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we get you on the schedule. We show up on the agreed day with professional equipment and handle the mowing efficiently. If we see something that needs attention—bare spots, drainage issues, areas that need different care—we’ll let you know.
After the job, your lawn looks clean and maintained. We’re not leaving clippings everywhere or half-finished edges. The work gets done right, and if you’re setting up regular service, we keep coming back on schedule. You don’t have to think about it again.
Most of our clients in Stillwater, NY want consistent service throughout the growing season. We can set that up, or we can handle one-time cuts if that’s what your situation calls for. Either way, the process stays straightforward.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting professional grass cutting with equipment that’s maintained and ready to work. We’re not showing up with dull blades or unreliable machines. The cut is clean, even, and done at the right height for your grass type and the current season.
Stillwater lawns face specific challenges. Summer heat can stress cool-season grasses. Heavy foot traffic and New York’s harsh winters take their toll. Our local lawn mowing service accounts for these conditions. We adjust cutting height based on what your lawn needs, not just what’s fastest.
You also get reliability. We show up on schedule, communicate clearly, and don’t leave you wondering when someone’s coming. If weather delays us, you’ll know. If we spot a problem, we’ll tell you. That’s basic respect for your time and property.
The goal isn’t just to cut grass—it’s to maintain your lawn in a way that keeps it healthy and looking good throughout the season. That means paying attention to detail, understanding what Stillwater properties need, and doing the work with the same care we’d use on our own homes.
Pricing depends on your property size, terrain, and how often you need service. Most residential properties in Stillwater fall into a predictable range, but we don’t quote over the phone without seeing the lawn first.
Here’s why: a flat quarter-acre lot is different from a quarter-acre with slopes, obstacles, or challenging access. We need to see what we’re working with to give you an accurate price. That protects you from surprise charges and protects us from underestimating the work.
When we give you a price, it’s clear and upfront. No hidden fees for trimming or basic cleanup. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start. If you want regular service throughout the season, we can set up a schedule and consistent pricing so you’re not guessing what each visit will cost.
Most Stillwater lawns need mowing every 7-10 days during peak growing season, which typically runs from late spring through early fall. That frequency keeps your grass at a healthy height without removing too much at once.
Cutting too infrequently stresses the lawn. When you remove more than a third of the grass blade height in one mowing, you’re shocking the plant. It takes longer to recover, and your lawn looks worse for longer. Consistent mowing at the right interval keeps grass healthier and looking better.
Weather affects the schedule. After heavy rain, grass grows faster and you might need more frequent cuts. During dry spells or late summer heat, growth slows and you can stretch the interval. We adjust based on actual conditions, not just a rigid calendar. If you’re on regular service with us, we handle that timing so you don’t have to think about it.
Yes. We’re expanding our commercial work and can handle business properties, rental complexes, and larger land mowing projects in Stillwater and surrounding areas.
Commercial properties have different needs than residential lawns. You need reliable service that doesn’t disrupt business hours, consistent quality that maintains your property’s appearance, and a company that shows up on schedule. We understand those requirements because we operate the same way on every job.
If you have a commercial property that needs regular grass cutting or larger land areas that need maintenance, reach out. We’ll assess the property, discuss your schedule requirements, and give you a clear quote. Our approach is the same whether it’s a home lawn or a commercial site—professional equipment, experienced crew, and work done right.
Josh is on almost every job. That’s not typical for lawn care companies, especially as they grow. But we’re a family business, and we’re not interested in scaling so fast that quality drops.
You’re getting 27 years of experience applied to your property. We started in 1997, and we’ve been serving this area long enough to understand local conditions, seasonal challenges, and what Stillwater lawns need. We’re not learning as we go.
We’re also not the cheapest option, and we’re upfront about that. You’re paying for professional equipment, reliable service, and people who care about doing the job right. If you’re looking for the absolute lowest price, we’re probably not the best fit. If you want quality work from a local business that’s going to be here next year and the year after, we’re worth the call.
Yes. We’ve handled all kinds of properties in Stillwater, NY—slopes, uneven ground, lots with trees and landscaping, areas with rocks or drainage features. Challenging terrain is normal for us.
Our excavation background actually helps here. We understand grading, drainage, and how properties are laid out. When we’re mowing a lawn with slopes or obstacles, we know how to work safely and efficiently without damaging your property or leaving areas half-finished.
If your property has specific challenges, mention them when you reach out. We’ll assess whether we’re the right fit and give you an honest answer. Some properties need specialized equipment or approaches, and we’d rather tell you upfront than take a job we can’t do well. But in most cases, what seems challenging to you is standard work for us.
We do both. If you need a one-time cut because your lawn got away from you or you’re preparing your property for an event, we can handle that. If you want regular service throughout the growing season, we can set that up too.
Most of our clients prefer regular service because it’s easier—you’re on the schedule, we show up consistently, and your lawn stays maintained without you having to think about it. But we understand that not everyone needs or wants that arrangement.
One-time jobs typically cost more per visit than regular service because we’re not building in the efficiency of repeat visits. But the pricing is still transparent, and you’ll know the cost before we start. Whatever your situation, reach out and we’ll figure out what makes sense for your property and schedule.
